I have had the pleasure of volunteering at multiple workshops over the past few years taught by Cesar Millan and his training staff from across the country. I have been able to observe and learn from Cesar himself, but also some of the top dog training professionals in the country. I have attended workshops and classes taught by, Todd Langston of OC Pack Life, Heather Beck of K9lifeline, and Phyllis Smuland of Canine Counselor Inc. I, also, attended a workshop taught at International School for Dog Trainers, with instruction from James Hamm, a highly successful dog trainer in Texas, and President of the International Association for Canine Professionals (IACP), Martin Deeley, Professional Gun dog trainer, Author of several books and magazine articles, World speaker and commentator at numerous gun dog events, and a Director and Co-founder of the IACP, and Pat Trichter a registered nurse, Vet Tech, and successful dog trainer for over 20 years, and co-founder
of the IACP. I completed a certificate in Basic Dog Training through the International School for Dog Trainers. I am currently taking courses on dog behavior, and relationship based training from Nelson Hodges of the Canine Human Relationship Institute, CHRI.
