You will get plenty of tips and techniques for working with clients (especially the difficult ones), learn how to handle challenging training situations, participate in the video game, “Catch the Trainer's Mistakes!” and view plenty of creative games you can play in private sessions and group classes to make learning more fun for everyone. You will come away with lots of new tools for your toolbox and ideas you will want to try out with your clients.

April 25: Alternative Approaches to Healing Canine Health & Behavior

Duration:  9 am - 4:30 pm                                                        

The morning session begins with an informative overview of how vibrational, energy-based healing methods work. We’ll then focus on specific ways in which flower essences can affect dogs. For example, did you know that the Bach Flower Essence “Beech” can help dogs who are intolerant of other dogs, or that the Masters Essence “Grape” is excellent for dogs who have been abandoned or abused? You’ll receive extensive handouts, hear about research studies, and participate in a group exercise that will teach you how to choose the proper flower essences to address specific behavior issues.

After a brief, intriguing segment on how music can help dogs to relax and heal, it’s on to energy testing. Also known as muscle testing, energy testing provides a non-invasive way to test the body’s imbalances and assess its needs. It can be used to check the body’s responses to herbs, vitamins, and other remedies, and to learn whether a food or medication is healthful for a particular individual. You will learn the fundamentals of energy testing, see it demonstrated, and then enjoy practice time with each other. Please bring a vitamin, supplement, or any other substance you would like to test (for yourself, not your dog). We will then discuss how to surrogate test to find out which foods and supplements may be beneficial to your dogs.

The afternoon is dedicated to the emerging field of hands-on energy healing. You will learn simple, effective techniques to rebalance a dog’s energy and to clear blockages. A dog whose energies are in balance will experience improved health and display better behavior. You will see, through video segments of hands-on healing sessions with dogs, the effects that are possible with this type of treatment. In the extensive experiential portion that follows, you will be taught to sense and move energy--no previous experience is necessary! Through practice with fellow attendees, you will learn practical applications for working with your own dogs and others. You'll learn how energy healing can calm dogs in a variety of situations, and how it can help with health issues, as well as behavior issues such as fear and aggression.

Even those who are deeply skeptical have come away from this seminar with a new respect for what these healing modalities can accomplish, and many have successfully used them to help their dogs. Taking an alternative approach to helping dogs can literally be a life-changing experience!
