Fun-Filled Action Packed Dog Training Weekend Coming to Ventura

I'm SO excited!!! Two of my very favorite Dog Training Aunties are comin' to town May 2nd and 3rd!!! My own dog training mom is helping out and co-hosting with the Puppyworks folks for this very educational and positively rewarding dog training weekend! Who are these fabulous ladies? Well, none other than Ms. Jean Donaldson and Ms. Janis Bradley! 

Miss. Jean and Miss. Janis were two of the great mentors and teachers mom had when she was at school at the San Francisco SPCA Academy for Dog Trainers. Mom spent a long time up there learning all about her craft. I missed her terribly, but was fortunate enough to visit once in awhile with dad.

Miss. Jean is also the one responsible for writing the best book ever! It's called the Culture Clash. This is one of moms most favorite books ever! Mom calls it her "bible". Miss. Jean has written lots of other great books too - mom loves all of them. But the CC is still her favorite. 

Miss. Janis has written a wonderful book too, called "Dogs Bite, but Balloons and Slippers Are More Dangerous". Mom recommends this book also - it really gives a new perspective about the issues of us dogs biting and causing harm.

It's going to be a full weekend with the conference going all day both Saturday and Sunday. In addition to that, mom and I are going to host a special "Meet and Greet" and book signing Saturday evening after the conference over at our Inquisitive Canine dog training studio. 

For additional information on the conference or to register, you can go to the Puppyworks website, or you can contact mom...she can help answer questions too. 

I wonder if Miss. Jean and Miss. Janis will need my assistance at the conference? I wonder if they'll want me to show them around town? Hmm, something for this inquisitive canine to ponder... 

It's back to dog training school for me!

Yippee for this lucky dog!!! I get to go back to school in January... Mom's rockin' dog training class is full!!! Wow! And that means I get to go and help her! She always brings me for orientation. As a matter of fact, I'm the only dog allowed to be there! She uses me as her "demo dog"... That's right folks, I get to be the star! But it's not about being "the star"... I just dig helping mom out...okay, I really like the attention - it's fun, it's safe, and it predicts good things for me! Cuz that's how us animals learn, right? 

Anyway, if you didn't make it into this round of classes I'm sorry I won't get to see you... There are a couple of other workshops she's having though, so you might want to get into one or both of those... Check out the calendar for all the details. 

Oh, and we have a list going - you can get your dogs name on it - if mom gets enough requests she'll add another class... or, you can come hang at the Ventura College Community Education Canine College course...

I wonder if mom will ever let me teach the class on my own? Hmm, something for this inquisitive canine to ponder...
