Wallace Payne Seminar

Well it has been a busy, fun and educational weekend. The level of training was very high and attendence was at an all time high.

Wallace and Rhonda did an amazing job of working through all the dogs and handlers of all levels. The emphasis was firmly placed on first setting the goal towards which you are training, then tailor the methods to best fit these goals, the dog's drives, the handler's ability and experience.

Aron made progress in leaps and bounds. His tracking tightened up as my handling was fixed. The obedience improved as I changed my approach to attention and focus work, and we laid out a way forward to proceed with his protection work.

All told it was a great time and was throughly enjoyed by all attending.
