Do you struggle with cue or signal discrimination with your pup--you ask for one behavior and your dog does something else (I cue a "Down" and my dog does a "bow")? Do you have a hard time transitioning from a lured behavior to one on a clean verbal cue? Do you need to teach an atypical cue (like a tactile or odor cue) to do a behavior and are struggling? Does it feel like you and your pup are sometimes just not on the same communication page even though you know they 'know the skill'? This weekend seminar is for you!
The Alliance of Modern Pet Professionals Pittsburgh is excited to announce an upcoming weekend seminar with Kathy Sdao, Applied Animal Behaviorist and Author of "Plenty in Life is Free."
Auditing and working spots will both be available for her course entitled, "Improve Your 'I Cue': Learn the Science of Signals."
This seminar is geared toward all sorts of training nerds...errrr, we mean fans, training fans! Pet owners who love training and want to learn more of the science and practical applications to clarify their communication, professional dog trainers looking to improve both their own skills and what to look for in their clients to help their clients succeed, and dog sport competitors looking to clean up their cues and signals with their pups.
Key topics:
- Understand basic science of cueing
- Improve the process to choose, add, change, and maintain cues
- Provide clearer channel of communication
- Create conceptual cues beyond eliciting simple movements
More details will be announced in mid-April, along with the opening of registration!
CEUs for CCPDT and IAABC will be available (likely around 14)!
