Day 1: The RCT Practicum: Let’s Take the Theory Out for A Walk!
This workshop is a hands-on day with 12 working spots for handlers and dogs to build their confidence by practicing foundation RCT skills with other students under the supervision of Suzanne Clothier assisted by skilled RCT instructors. Foundation RCT skills are effective, humane and proven techniques that support healthy dog/ human relationships. Ideal for building relationships on a solid foundation between dog and handler, these RCT skills also work beautifully to repair relationships that have gone off-track. Note: You do not need to attend with a dog to benefit! There are 50 total spots available. Working spots are not guaranteed.

Day 2: TALKS WITH DOGS: How Our Body Language Affects Our Communication with Dogs
In this seminar, Suzanne turns her considerable observation skills to assessing and understanding the handler’s body language. In ways big and small, her approach to helping the handler will deepen your awareness of how seemingly small differences can have a profound effect on a dog. Watching Suzanne working with demo teams and in group exercises will ground your understanding in what to watch for as well as options for making meaningful changes. We’re looking for a few dogs who can handle the seminar setting and still be able to learn. Submit a Case History to have your dog considered.
