"That's My Dog" is Superb!

From September 12-16, 2009 I attended an Advanced Trainer's Seminar with Robin MacFarlane of http://www.ThatsMyDog.com and JT Clough of http://www.SitK9Sit.com in Hazel Green, Wisconsin.  Robin and JT are excellent instructors who offer continuing education for trainers "who seek higher skill levels and deeper understanding of techniques utilized in solving behavior issues."

The 40 hour course included hands on training with dogs as well as classroom presentations regarding consultation skills, personal development, and business management.  There was also time for "real world training" as our class took the dogs to a neighboring city and forest for adventure outings.

Robin has an excellent eye for reading dogs and an unique ability to break lessons down into easy to understand steps for the  human and dog students alike.  This creates a fun and low stress learning environment.  JT brings with her a California flair as she is based in San Diego, CA but travels to Wisconsin to partner with Robin for the Instructor seminars.  If you need assistance with business coaching, JT rocks!  And, having completed the Ironman NINE TIMES, you know she  brings tremendous energy to her presentations.

If you're a dog trainer and/or dog behavior consultant, you will want to attend Robin and JT's Instructor programs.  They will push you (gently but consistently) to step outside yourself for personal development which will ultimately better your business and the welfare of dogs and their guardians.

If you're a dog guardian living in the tri-state area desiring high quality dog training instruction, then you must enroll in one of "That's My Dog" training programs.  Robin's head instructor, AnnAlissa Johnson is non-stop with humorous training analogies.  Her analogies easily put students at ease and increases their confidence levels.  When contacting That's My Dog, you'll probably have the wonderful opportunity to speak with Robin's business manager, Liz.  Her friendly and exceptional customer service makes everything appear to run flawlessly.  Whether you're a new dog training student or an instructor wanting to increase your skills, "That's My Dog" is the place to be!

It's been a wonderful  experience for me as it's been a time to:

*  learn,

*  reflect,

*  make new friends with other trainers, and

*  plan new exciting ways to expand dog training for client's and their dogs.

This weekend, the learning continues as I stay on for another training program called E-Palooza.  "That's My Dog" describes it as,  "a gathering of training professionals dedicated to educating and enhancing the world of dogs."  Forty to fifty training professionals are scheduled to attend.  It should be another fun and valued learning experience!
