Our job is to teach people to train their dogs. How many
times have you heard that? Said it yourself? It sounds so good, so logical.
After all, it's the owners that live with the dogs, and they need to know what
to do when we leave. But does this really make sense? Can we really teach owners
to train their dogs and solve behavior problems in a few short sessions? These
questions lie at the heart of the many frustrations and limitations of our
work -- the unfinished cases, client compliance issues, poor income, and tinges of
doubt that all contribute to feelings of burn out and lack of efficacy.
Join
Veronica Boutelle of dogTEC to explore these questions, look at the history
that's led to our current approaches, and to consider win-win-win alternatives
for trainers, dog owners, and the dogs themselves.
Who's the Trainer will be
held at Pawsitive Tails at 1255 22nd St. in San Francisco. www.sfpawsitivetails.com |
