About the Seminar:
This is a four-day seminar with John Rogerson who is widely
acclaimed as the world's leading dog trainer and behaviourist.
John Rogerson has an amazing gift for teaching dogs, and more importantly, their handlers, to accomplish things they never thought they'd be able to do!
John has competed at the highest levels of competitive dog sports and has pioneered a vast number of behavior problems solving techniques. John's training techniques, problem-solving skills and overall abilities are second to none!
John uses positive training techniques that are humane, and gentle. But unlike many other trainers, you won't find John needing to resort to choke chains, prong collars or other training tools to train a dog to do amazing things, and no, you won't find John wearing a treat pouch, or using a clicker!
Curious? Do you have a dog that is really bad at coming back to you when called? Then this is the seminar for you and your dog.
