Course Details
You’ve got the knowledge, you’ve got the experience, and you’ve got your ethics all figured out. You quote Pavlov in casual conversations, you’ve got a library full of FDSA classes, and years of experience volunteering at the local shelter. You can chop up a hotdog in under 30 seconds, and the timing of your click is impeccable. What else do you need to train dogs for a living?
This workshop talks about a crucial skill set many of us are missing when we first start out as professional trainers: the art of relating to your clients. How do you put yourself into their shoes, establish a relationship, and empower them to reach their training goals? How do you get them to train, make progress, and have fun along the way?
