(10)

Sundog Training started with a desire to share knowledge and skills with individuals to affect change in their daily lives. We formed this organization (Sundog Training, LLC) out of a desire to assist individuals by educating them and their dogs. Pet or working dog, every dog deserves to reach their full potential and every owner or handler should have someone to reach out to that can help direct

them. We saw individuals which needed extensive help and those that only needed a little guidance and someone to point them to the right resources. We wanted them all to have a way to accomplish their goals using positive methods and years of first hand experience. We have years of working in the professional animal care industry. From managing boarding kennels, training all types of working dogs, to working with exotics. It is our passion to translate our years of experience and knowledge into a training program specifically tailored to meet your needs.

This seminar is designed for sport dog trainers and enthusiasts who want to build a deeper, more meaningful connection with their dogs through focus, engagement, and empowerment.

What You’ll Learn:

1. Mastering the Fundamentals: Explore the essential concepts of focus, engagement, and empowerment. Learn how to capture and maintain your dog’s attention, make training sessions enjoyable, and lay the groundwork for a confident, empowered dog.

4. Creating Habits: Understand the importance of establishing habits. I’ll guide you through teaching your dog the desired behaviors and setting clear expectations. Once these foundations are solid, you can confidently empower your dog to make choices, knowing they understand what’s expected.

5. Problem-Solving and Personalization: Tackle common training challenges with personalized feedback. Address issues such as lack of focus or overexcitement, and learn strategies tailored to your dog’s unique needs.

6. Empowerment Through Choice: Explore the concept of choice-based training and how empowering your dog to make decisions can enhance their confidence and decision-making skills. Learn how to recognize and work with your dog’s natural motivations.

7. Developing a Customized Training Plan: Set realistic and achievable goals for your dog’s training journey. Learn how to create a consistent training schedule that fits your lifestyle and your dog’s needs.

As many of you know, last year, we held this egg hunt to help pay for Bell’s lymphoma treatments. A few days ago, we found out our dear friend Chip the corgi Was diagnosed with lymphoma as well. It seems fitting in honor of Bella that this year’s proceeds will all be given to Chip to help pay for his treatments. Chip and his family have been such strong supporters of the Manhattan dog sport communities over the years! Not to mention the joy a fluffy corgi butt running fast cat brings!
So……The doggie egg hunt is a go!
It’s a typical Kansas spring morning- and while it’s a little grey- it’s great treat hunting weather!
We have our open field and our barn getting set up and ready to go. While those golden eggs are disappearing into the woods for our super sleuths.
Please feel free to walk up 9-1 and we are ready!!
