Talking Dogs Rally - Level 2 Trainers Workshop
Talking Dogs Rally is here! Based on Charles Kramer’s original idea of linking a series of exercises to form a course, TD Rally has taken this to the next level. New, updated and clarified station signs, clear, well defined rules and regulations, and a unique ethos with an emphasis on pet dog owners competing with their own scores rather than simply against each other, Talking Dogs Rally aims to bring trainers and competitors together to have a hoot with their dogs. This workshop is for trainers who are all ready teaching TD Rally to clients, in classes or on a 121 basis. We will help and advise you on how to teach Level 2 stations, clarify questions on rules, cues, lures, discuss lesson plans, assist with station combinations and course building and help you prepare your clients for Level 2 competitions. This is primarily a discussion based workshop. However, should delegates wish to bring their well behaved, sociable dogs we may allow delegates to use them to demonstrate some practical exercises. However, please be aware that they are unlikely to be working for most of the day. Thursday 16th February 2012, 10am - 4pm Tickets are £45 and include all day refreshments. Please bring your own packed lunch. Speaker info: Pam Mackinnon BA DipCABT, Director of Talking Dogs Ltd. and her associate and co-founder of Talking Dogs Rally, Becky Skelhon have been teaching Rally classes for the last three years.

Talking Dogs Rally Practice Workshop
Talking Dogs Rally is based on Charles Kramer’s original idea of linking a series of obedience based exercises to form a course. TD Rally has taken this to the next level. Since our formation in 2010 we have held many trials around the UK, presented hundreds of rosettes and prizes and helped lots of dogs and their owners have fun together. We have our own colour coded, clear, station signs, well defined rules and regulations, and a unique ethos with an emphasis on pet dog owners competing with their own scores rather than against each other. This workshop is for owners and trainers who have already worked through Level 1 or earned their Level 1 TD Rally Title. We will guide you through various combinations of L2 stations, helping you to understand the nuances of Level 2 and giving tips and strategies on how to gain high scores. We will also help you to design great L2 courses, looking at layout, flow, nesting and challenge We have limited places for dogs that are friendly and sociable with both people and other dogs. This workshop is open to pedigree, cross breeds and mongrels of all ages. We also have spectator places available. Be there at the start of this exciting new development and join us at Talking Dogs Rally! Thursday 29th February 2012 10am - 4pm Tickets are £45 and include all day refreshments. Please bring your own packed lunch. Speaker info: Pam Mackinnon BA DipCABT, Director of Talking Dogs Ltd. and her associate and co-founder of Talking Dogs Rally, Becky Skelhon have been teaching Rally classes for the last two years. Both having gained knowledge and insight on Rally from the USA, they have taken the best from Rally around the world and integrated that with their own unique take on the sport. Pam is an experienced and popular speaker, trainer, behaviourist and author.

Talking Dogs Rally Course Building Workshop
Talking Dogs Rally has built up a strong and dedicated following since our arrival in 2010. Through our many trials, classes and workshops, we understand how challenging it can be to set up fun, flowing courses. This workshop is for trainers and handlers who would like to improve their course design skills. We will help and advise on all aspects of course design, from how to combine stations for class or 121 use, and set practice and trial courses for all levels of experience, to how to nest courses and adapt Level 1 designs into Levels 2 and 3. We will go over what makes a successful, and unsuccessful, course and demonstrate how to make them challenging for your clients. This workshop is a must for those considering becoming a judge. This is primarily a discussion based workshop. However, should delegates wish to bring their well behaved, sociable dogs we may allow delegates to use them to demonstrate some practical exercises. However, please be aware that they are unlikely to be working for most of the day. Thursday 31st May 2011, 10am - 4pm Tickets are £35 and include all day refreshments. Please bring your own packed lunch. Speaker info: Pam Mackinnon BA DipCABT, Director of Talking Dogs Ltd. and her associate and co-founder of Talking Dogs Rally, Becky Skelhon have been teaching Rally classes for the last three years. Both having gained knowledge and insight on Rally from the USA, they have taken the best from Rally around the world and integrated that with their own unique take on the sport. Pam is an experienced and popular speaker, trainer, behaviourist and author.

Jean Dodds DVM at APDT - APDT Continuing Professional Development Programme
This year we are very fortunate to have Dr. Jean Dodd present a day on Hypothyroidism. This will be a day not to be missed for anyone working with dogs in training, behaviour and veterinary practice. Those of us who have been affected by Hypothyroidism in our dogs know it is very difficult to find a UK vet who is attuned to this all to common problem and even more difficult to get blood work done to the detail that is needed to make a proper diagnosis. Dr. Dodd is a leading expert in the testing and diagnosis of thyroid problems. She has also been a strong campaigner to change the vaccination protocol in the US and had been instrumental in achieving changes in revaccination schedules. Come join us for an interesting and informative day which will give you much to think about and new ideas with which to go forward into the dog training world. We urge to you make sure your local veterinary practice knows about this presentation and hope to reach as many vets and vet nurses as possible.

Interactive Demo for Challenging Dogs with Toni Shelbourne
This event is suitable for fosters, rescue workers, dog trainers and members of the public. Many rescue dogs would find it challenging to attend a normal workshop. Similarly numerous people ask to watch Toni work with these difficult cases. This interactive demonstration gives participants the best of both worlds. Toni says, ‘People for always asking me to demonstrate the work however in a normal workshop I’m more interested in giving people as much practical experience as possible. Now I believe I’ve come up with a happy medium’. A maximum of five dogs will be worked with their handlers over the course of the day. No other dogs will be in the room and all spectators will be up on a stage. Toni will assess and work with each dog using appropriate techniques for that case. A Q & A session will follow. All dogs with any behaviour are welcome. £40 with dog. £25 for spectators
