Dr. Ian Dunbar Seminar
April 6-8, 2012
Three-day seminar with Dr. Ian Dunbar, highlighting a number of diverse theoretical and practical issues that are severely holding back puppy-raising and dog training. We must all strive to make training as quick, easy, effective, expedient, efficacious and as enjoyable as possible for dogs and their owners. When socialization or training is under par, dogs make mistakes, owners get frustrated and then, dogs get punished, banished, surrendered or euthanized.
