Dogtrain, Inc. is pleased to announce the return of this outstanding annual event.  If you have worked with us in past clinics, you know what you can achieve, and have experienced the camaraderie of the Dogtrain clinics, the beauty of the coastal Wilmington area, and enjoyed its amazing restaurants.  If you haven’t joined us before, this is your opportunity to add invaluable knowledge to your life with dogs.  “Over the four years I have been using these techniques, it has become apparent to me, that better understanding the biomechanics of the dog has accelerated my understanding of the psychology of the dog.  I am amazed daily at how this education has altered my approach to behavior modification.  The results have been astounding.”  Diane Gallagher.

This year’s format will start with a three-day clinic for all and include an advanced level fourth day for Certified Specialists only.  This intensive hands-on clinic will cover the basic 40 point protocol ( see Techniques), as well as a sports therapy protocol for warm-up and cool down, and for trainers, a simple protocol for clients to use with their own dogs.  Topics covered will also include various techniques of biomechanical analysis of dogs to reveal hidden areas of irregularity of motion or structure, and the behavioral/structural correlation in dogs.

Canine Kinaesthetics™ has been developed to find and relieve problem areas of discomfort, pain or restricted movement, as well as address the complex behavioral needs of dogs.  Physical limitations are at the root of many behavioral issues in the dog world, from overt aggression to subtle variations in confidence.  A dog’s entire social language is contained in its body.  If the body is impaired in any way, social communication suffers whether the communication is with other dogs or humans

Canine Kinaesthetics™ serves to:
Increase coordination, flexibility and range of motion.
Prevent injuries and minimize wear and tear.
Relieve trauma.
Aid in post-surgical or injury rehabilitation.
Facilitate behavioral changes, including radically change or diminish aggression.
Increase concentration, focus and cooperation.

PLEASE NOTE: This clinic has been carefully structured to bring the maximum amount of education to participants.  Yes, we work with difficult dogs with these techniques all the time, but that does not create the best learning for students.  This is NOT intended to be a training session for the dogs, but for your hands.  Each participant may bring one well-mannered dog over one year of age per day.  Dogtrain will have plenty of extra dogs on hand for participant practice.  “Well-mannered” means your dog: 1) can be touched all over; 2) can sit and down with distractions of other dogs and people, and 3) is neither people nor dog aggressive.  Exceptions may be made after consultation with Diane Gallagher at Dogtrain, Inc.

Dogs MUST be current on vaccinations, and have written proof.  You may fax this, or send a copy with your registration.  Crating areas inside the building will be available for your convenience.  Your dog MUST be crate trained, as they will be in the same room as the seminar.  Disruptive dogs may have to be removed from the building.  Weather permitting, you may choose to leave your dog in your vehicle, as parking is adjacent to the building.  We have a lovely off-leash (UN-fenced) dog park 5 minutes from the facility. 

Beverages, morning snacks and lunch will be provided each day.  The cost of the three-day seminar is $750.00.  Payment is due in full by May 1st, credit cards are accepted.   As Memorial Day weekend officially kicks off the summer season, it is advisable to get reservations set up early.
