Training Clinics

In just two days you can learn dog obedience training with Dialogue®, hands-on! The sessions are one-on-one and all-inclusive.

Dialogue® is highly effective two-way communication between a dog and her human partner. Dialogue removes the primary obstacle to good dog behavior—dog anxiety. Dialogue gives your dog the confidence, security and peace of mind she needs to be able to respond appropriately to you.

As you practice with your dog back at your home, I can answer via e-mail any questions that arise. And you are urged to share the story of your experience with me!

FULL PARTICIPANTS

Bring your dog and devote two full days to learning Dialogue®. Working one-on-one with Judy, your dog will learn the steps for each of the exercises that form the structure for your 10 minutes of daily, consistent repetitive practice (Heel, Sit, Sit-Stay, Down, Down-Stay, Stand, and Come) that will enable him to do these exercises when called for. No pressure, no quizzes.

Each dog owner will devote the two days to learning to develop Dialogue® with the dog they came with and will come to understand dog behavior so they can help any dog. Owners will learn details of the new concepts and the new "body language" they need to be successful with Dialogue®. 

Every owner will learn to use Dialogue® to overcome any dog's "behavior problems," and Dialogue has a 100% success rate at solving every kind of behavior problem.

 

My purpose is to free dogs from the underlying causes of problem behavior. A full participant can return home with an entirely new relationship with their dog.

DOG-ONLY PARTICIPANTS

Your dog will have two sessions with Judy while the owner watches. Those sessions can be on the same day or consecutive days if needed.

 

In those two sessions Judy will initiate Dialogue® with the dog (just as the full-participant dog does), to teach the dog the components of Dialogue: all the standard obedience exercises as listed above. By the end of the second session virtually every dog will walk quietly on a leash, "heel," hold a long "sit-stay" and a long "down-stay," etc. (most dogs will do the "heel" and "stays" off-leash). 

 

The exercises, the appropriate behaviors, are the structure for the dog's daily practice with her owner that develops the dog's responsiveness, confidence, competency, and peace of mind and body.  The dog will leave the clinic ready to practice everything with her owner as soon as the owner has sufficiently self-trained himself with my study materials to practice with the dog.  The owner is expected to dedicate themselves to this self-training.  It is through this practice of the appropriate behaviors that whatever problems his dog exhibits will be overcome.

Auditing a Class

A silent auditor gets to watch everything that goes on and hear everything that is said over the course of the two days.  For those who choose to participate at the dog-only level, auditing is a great way to jump-start the self-training under the guidance of my study materials that may be purchased at the clinic!
