Pass it on...it IS really true, Marty is really coming here! We are having a three Day CAMELIDynamics Clinic!
There is no substitute for seeing CAMELIDynamics in action...
...taught by the person who invented it! Marty has traveled over a million miles around the world teaching her brand of animal understanding. It isn’t enough to have a mastery of the material, a teacher must be able to excite and inspire. Marty is exceptional at both. She uses training aids she developed herself, along with a variety of role playing exercises designed to help owners really understand their wooly buddies.
There is nothing like feeling what it is like to wear a halter or to be led, to give you a whole different point of view. Have fun, be inspired and leave with a higher level of skill and understanding. If you have been to a clinic in the past* consider coming back for a refresher and see for yourself how the method is constantly evolving.
