NATIONAL SPECIALTY ORIENTATION We invite first time National Specialty attendees to get together for a quick meet and greet and QA session with Anne Palmer and Tim Terella. The plan is to gather ring side after sweepstakes judging and to answer any questions new exhibitors may have. BEYOND THE BASICS, HANDLING AND TRAINING TECHNIQUES AND PSYCHOLOGY FOR SUCCESS IN THE RING AND LIFE, you have already learned to dress for success, know all the gaiting patterns and what leashes and collars to put on your dog. What else is there to know? How about the way a dog thinks and ways to help them become comfortable with certain situations, real or imagined, why dogs get turned off or soured to working. This Seminar will be a combination of lecture and hands-on – bring your questions, problem dogs and together let us brainstorm and physically demonstrate on how to have a more successful union between man and dog, taking a look at what happens more from the dog point of view. Ideas and solutions are appropriate for obedience, conformation and everyday life. Presenter will be Trish Kanzler, who has more than 50 years competing in showing and on the trail work, and anyone else who would like to share life experiences and solutions. For more information please contact Ann Palmer at 734-426-5917 or [email protected]. Please RSVP on the form below and send to 7559 Zeeb Rd., Dexter, MI 48130.
