I am thrilled to announce that Karen Pryor's Clicker Expo is coming to Lexington , March 28-30, 2008. There will be sessions for all levels of training skill, from beginner to advanced.
Clicker training is tons of fun for dogs (and any other animal) and trainers, and is a powerful way to teach deeply ingrained and complex behaviors (check out Cassie's advanced behaviors at the bottom of my main page to get an idea of what clicker training can accomplish).
The registration fee might give one pause, but I promise that your training skills will advance enormously if you take part. I have studied under many of the instructors and they are delightful people and gifted teachers as well as outstanding trainers.
There is a $50 discount for registration by Nov. 30.
