How was Dog Seminars Directory conceived?
Dog Seminars Directory grew out of frustration of my not finding out about seminars until the last minute or – even worse – finding out about them after they had occurred.
I discussed this dilemma with other “dog” professionals, and we all commented, “Why doesn’t someone make a listing of all seminars so we can all know what, where, and when seminars are given?” So here it is.
My name is Caryl Wolff, and I am certifiedand/or endorsed by the following organizations:
- AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator (August 2009)
- International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (CDBC 2005)
- Certification Council for Pet Dog Trainers (CPDT 2005)
- National Association of Dog Obedience Trainers (NADOI 2003)
If you’d like to find out more about me, please go to my Web site www.DoggieManners.com.

Does Dog Seminars Directory adhere to one philosophy?
Dog Seminars Directory lists many viewpoints in various dog-related fields so we can help our clients by drawing from different perspectives. It is not the intent of this site to publicize seminars that abuse animals. Please let me know if you attend any seminar where you believe a dog has been abused, and I will investigate to my best ability and if necessary remove the listing and all pertinent information regarding that seminar from the site and not accept future listings.
