Well we have launched! Two weekends ago we unrolled the first “Flatwork Secrets” & “Blueprint for Handling Success.” This past weekend it was “Advances in Dog Training” and “Critical Elements.” I like the way things piece together and although it always seems I have more I want to teach, I like the way the entire program will progressively roll out for students throughout their dog’s life.
Here are some candid pics of the students, the staff and the dogs enjoying themselves at “Critical Elements for Sport and Life” . . . it is not just for agility training it IS much more than that!
Ann & Tai practicing Crate Games!
Lisa & Carbon working tug drive.

It was a great group, with lots of enthusiasm right up until the last moment.
Today I am grateful for the understanding of all of the participants at this weeks upcoming Greg & Laura Derrett seminars that we will be hosting without Greg & Laura (due to an uncooperative volcano!)
The great thing about the Say Yes program is that it not only a trigger (to change), but an enabler (for change). Some triggers are subtle, some are, er, well, more blatant … either way, you are given the tools to grow.
I cannot wait to come..guess I have to get a puppy first…margie
Susan, any chance of not only getting these great concepts on DVD but also in a book/work book format? That would be so much help for the rest of the doggie world community who might not be able to attend your seminars.
“I love my puppy so much” moments are the best. 🙂 And I’m diggin’ the hair!!

Sounds like some great workshops…can’t wait to get a chance to attend!
Was a great workshop, thanks for all your time in putting together this new line up of classes, and the energy put into your teaching!
Susan you always impart so much knowledge…even as simple as a passing “sit vs.sat” teachable moment…..I can’t believe I had not put that together before (i.e. I had only considered the repetition being incorrect when requesting the behavior…) I was really kicking myself after consideration of our brief conversation….I have so much to learn!
AND, I can’t wait to see the improvement in my cues while kicking this bad habit!
This camp was truly wonderful. The difference in my puppy over the four days was astonishing. I am looking forward to applying what I have learned to build my pup up to be all he can be. I bought a Gentle Leader on the way home from work.
Wasn’t sure about doing 4 days since usually after 2 days my brain is done. Susan, you kept it very interesting and fun, love the balance breaks for the people. I keep remembering little gems of information you imparted during the two seminars and will take a few weeks to assimilate all the concepts you taught. Thank you and can’t wait until spring.
Great concept! Any chance of seeing these classes in future DVDs?
After 4 days of getting up before 5am, I still got up this morning with the “I wanna” attitude – Sooooo much fun. Thanks to Susan, Penny and Lynda for a great time. The tooth fairy brought Rhumba her Gentle Leader!!!!! What a great day it will be!
Looks like so much fun! Glad the TNT babies rocked the house 🙂 I can’t wait to go again – I loved Lurer’s and Skills and am excited to see the fab new version.
Is there any chance you will be doing these two seminars again at Say Yes before August?
Great seminar. The content in the AIDT & CE was amazing with so many little details and how they all connect together – quite often these pieces can be overlooked, yet the SY team has clearly spent alot of time ensuring that their students see and digest the entire picture.
I am so happy to have travelled the distance as this is an investement in my puppies future and our relationship as a team. We are looking forward to future camps as well as more opportunities for repeat the AIDT seminars!
