What would you love to accomplish with your dog? LET’S DO IT! Call, email or text to sign up!
SCHEDULED 2 DAY WORKSHOPS:
$350 for dog/owner teams. (Includes both days) $75 observers only. (If YOU bring an observer WITH you, you get $25 off!)
Foundations Workshop: January 16/17th or March 27-28th
Saturday 3:30pm to 6:pm (My Facility) & Sunday 9am to 11:30am (Atascadero Lake)
Having trouble getting your dog to behave on leash? Do they act up (become aggressive, fearful or unruly) when they see other dogs or new people? Is it hard to get their attention when distractions surround you? Then this workshop is for you! It is the “foundation” of all my other training sessions.
Off Leash Workshop: January 30/31
Saturday 3:30pm to 6pm and Sunday 9:AM to 11:30 (Both days my facility!)
So your dog is doing well on leash and gets along with other dogs, but when off leash he doesn’t always come back to you? This is the workshop for you. You will learn how to use e-collars to get your dog’s attention no matter where he is. Must have attending my foundations class or a private session before this clinic.)
Foundations/Therapy Combo Workshop: November 6/7
Friday 4: pm to 6:30pm++ (my facility) Saturday 10am to 12:30pm (Atascadero lake)
This Nov 6/7 we are doing a combo “Foundations” and “therapy” to include more beginners! It focuses on the foundation techniques of getting your dog’s attention no matter what is going on around you, but also focuses on other distractions (skateboards, loud noises, bikes, etc)
In the regular “Therapy dog” workshop, we focus more on practicing for the Therapy Dog International Test and the Assistance Dog International Public Access Test, spend both days in town, and dinner with our dogs in town Friday night, and lunch with our dogs Saturday in town.
(Meals are not included)

The 24 HOUR “I CAN’T BELIEVE WE DID SO MUCH IN A DAY” RETREAT: We start with an early afternoon foundations class, then you check into your hotel room (INCLUDED) at the Parkfield Inn while I take your dog on a pack run, followed by a bath and hot water massage. There is a pool and jacuzzi at the Inn for your own relaxation, as well as wifi and satellite TV. Next, we meet in the adorable town of Parkfield, for another session, which INCLUDES dinner at the Parkfield Lodge’s fabulous cafe! Enjoy a continental breakfast the following morning at the inn before we start training at my facility at 8:30am. We finish our training in the town of Paso Robles (or Avila Beach…$100 extra for my travel expense) in the early afternoon which will INCLUDE lunch at one of the local restaurants. This retreat is $1200 the first person/dog team, $800 for an additional person/dog team*, or $200 observers* ( *when staying in the same room, additional rooms are $175 a night.)
The 48 HOUR “FULL CRASH COURSE” RETREAT: A little more Training, and a lot more fun! Starts with the 24 hour retreat, but when we finish up in Paso Robles, we bring your dog(s) back to the facility so you can enjoy an evening out on the town in the Beautiful, Historic Town of Paso Robles. There is Wine tasting, great restaurants and shops, and even a movie theater if you would like to see a show. The following morning after Breakfast at the Inn, we head out to Avila Beach, where we will finish our training in the early afternoon, which will INCLUDE lunch in town. $1800 first person/dog team, $1200* additional person/dog team, or $300* observers (*When staying in the same room, additional rooms are $175 a night)
RV OPTION: For those who have their own RV and would prefer staying in them, the Parkfield Lodge has sites with water and power, and you are welcome to use the pool /Jacuzzi and grounds while staying there. If you are creating your own workshop, these sites are available for $50 a night. IF you are staying for a 24 or 48 hour retreat, subtract $150 a night from the cost of your retreat.
