Theory and Problem-Solving Obedience Seminar

Connie's two-day seminars focus on understanding all levels of competitive obedience. The seminar will begin with a discussion on how dogs learn. Then Connie spends time working individually with each working team. Generally, day one focuses on individuals working on attention, heeling, retrieving, and recalls. On Day 2, Connie will help teams with more difficult exercises such as go-outs, articles, drop on recall, etc.
