- **Event Name**: Cynopraxic Training and the LIMA Principle With Steven Lindsay
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 13 Jul, 2025 at 09:00 am – Sun, 13 Jul, 2025 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Please join us for this enlightening 1-day seminar, where passion meets expertise, and embark on an extraordinary and unique journey towards a stronger bond with your canine companions and happier clients.

Discover the transformative power of cynopraxic training—a method that deepens the connection between you and your canine companions through a focus on exchange, empathy, respect, and mutual understanding. 

Learn from Steven Lindsay, a pioneer in dog behavior and expectancy learning, who emphasizes the importance of taking into account cognitive, emotional, social, and quality of life interests to actualize the dog’s potential through training and owner counseling. 

Embrace the real LIMA principle (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) in training, ensuring that training objectives are met while the dog’s well-being is preserved and improved. 

Understand that “least” and “minimum” are relative terms, meaning that a trainer’s experience and judgment, competence, and humane sensibility are key to determining the proper balance in training—there is no one-size-fits-all rule or stepwise map for applying aversive and intrusive incentives effectively. Dogs require individual assessment; what works best for one dog may be ineffective or inappropriate for another. 

Recognize the controversy surrounding LIMA: while originally intended to benefit dogs by promoting ethical training, the principle has been repurposed by some groups to brand a rigid, ideologically driven approach to LIMA and dog training, in opposition to common sense, practical experience, and scientific evidence. Be aware of current debates, including proposals in pending legislation that are attempting to impose purely positive, force-free restrictions on the dog training profession, undermining the nuanced approach that dogs truly deserve and risk damaging the profession. 

Join us for a day of intensive learning, as we explore the benefits of exchange-integrated expectancy learning, guided by the social and quality-of-life priorities of cynopraxis, the real meaning of the LIMA principle, and equip yourself with effective tools to enhance your practice, ensuring happier clients and better-trained dogs. 

Space is limited—secure your place today and embark on an extraordinary journey towards a stronger, more meaningful, and fulfilling relationship with your clients and the dogs you are professionally dedicated to serving.
