Advanced Behavior Scholars Course
The Main Course: Meat and potatoes
$1800: (Includes 12 training modules. 90 minutes of phone consultation and competence tests, reviews and customized instruction. )
I know how to do a lot of things. My background spans 40 years and virtually every form of practical training, including 13 different species. Tell me what you want a dog to do and I can give you many ways to get that to happen. Tell me what you want a dog to stop doing and I’ll give you 50 ways to make that happen, too. It’s not speculation, it’s knowledge derived from my catalogue of achievements. If you know how behavior actually works, you can blast through road-blocks with ease. You can quickly diagnose the causative influences of the behavior and move immediately to a solution. Dead end? Never. If it is a function of behavior, you will learn to master it.
You will also note that while I am fluent in the language of behavioral science, we will not be using it much, unless you prefer. I prefer words that describe reality and simplify solutions – not compound things with complicated jargon. You will soon discover the fallacies contained within behavioral science and how to avoid them as you would land-mines. We will focus on reality and effectiveness here.
The purpose of this course is to give you the benefit of my 40 years. Along with 8 years of handling about 20,000 dogs in shelters and animal control, my training knowledge comes from 30 years of stopping unwanted behaviors and leaving lasting inhibitions. It comes from having to generate and build behaviors via positive reinforcement rapidly and under the worst of circumstances. I never exclude clients because they have difficult problems or put arbitrary leg-weights on me. I follow Edison’s injunction – there is a better way. Find it. I have done that countless times and I continue to do so. I have been fortunate to apply my methods from dogs that eat rocks, to pet dogs that rush out the front door to Delta Force War dogs, and everything in between. The problems most common in modern dog training are easily controlled – fearfulness, reactivity, aggression – if you know what you are doing. My success is rooted in a firm and broad knowledge of behavior. That creates resilience, adaptability and mastery.
I know the step-by-step process of teaching dog owners to raise a great puppy or wrangle a problem dog. I have done that about ten thousand times. However, I can turn around the next day and work with a dog that has a neurological disorder or a squirrel monkey that has never been coaxed into drinking noxious, life preserving medication. Give me the problem and I will create a superior process and solution. I have spent my professional career, not just hitting home runs, but simplifying the process and making it learnable/teachable. I can do all these things and, most importantly, I can teach you how to do them, too.
So, step up to the table. The feast will be sumptuous and tasty.
