What is it like to learn without language or imitation? How does it feel to learn a physical skill without any idea of the purpose or final picture of the behavior being trained? In other words, what’s it like to be trained like a dog? Are you frustrated? Enjoying the process? Confused?

Come and see what you can learn about your dog’s experience by being clicked yourself. And, find out what your dog might say to you about your training – if only she could! Your human learners will give you feedback about what kind of trainer you are and how they experience being trained by you.

This workshop will be a combination of practical exercises to improve mechanical skills, training games to explore different strengths and weaknesses of our varied training and learning styles, and group reflection/discussion. Human attendees only.
