Aren't they wonderful? They're so intelligent and cute and often willing to please - although that's certainly not always the case. Sometimes we have to use lures, often we need rewards and always we need to understand their motivation.

In this case, we're not talking about dogs - we're talking about their owners! Though many, if not most, dog trainers got in the business for the animals, it's the people we must deal with on a daily basis, and that takes people skills - tact and understanding.

If you don't know the problem, you can't offer solutions! And if your clients won't listen to the solutions, they wonāt solve their problems. Getting "the facts" and motivating clients to comply are the keys to successful training.

In this presentation, we'll discuss the various kinds of people you might have to deal with in your practice, how to recognize them, and what to do with them!

Have you become a slave to your dog's treats? D.A.S.H. (Desire, Accuracy, Speed and Habit) will help you to:

• Understand the effective use of rewards
• Determine the optimum duration for your training sessions
• Train through distractions without corrections
• Design a training program around the needs of each dog

Often dog owners are worried sick about their dogsā problems - and some are very angry at their dogs - so angry that they may even have considered giving the dog up. In most (definitely not all cases), keys to success include bringing out the humor in a situation, putting the problem into perspective, and helping the client laugh as she/he learns how to modify her/his dog's behavior.

In this discussion, we'll not only talk about how to help clients see the lighter side of their problems, we'll use taped and live mock consults (volunteers needed!). Tips, hints and audience participation will keep this entertaining and fun.

Games to build and maintain a working partnership and trusting relationship with your dogs:

• Games to build speed and motivation
• How to turn your dog on to toys
• Teaching you how to be more fun than other dogs
• How controlling all games helps you control the dogās drives
• "Click" can mean much more than just food

Games to ensure success. Games to foster fun. Games to bring laughter and giggles, wags and wiggles, and warmth and hugs.

• Games to build reliability
• How to turn your dog on to attention
• Teaching you how to be more fun than other dogsā rear ends
• How controlling all games helps you control yourself, or the owner
• "Food" can mean much more than just food...but a feeling of well-being is a feeling of well-being!
