Critter Geek

You know I’m a fan of clicker training. I notice a big difference when trying to train my dog with the clicker and without. With the clicker, she is more precise and attentive. It’s really interesting behavior.

But sometimes days pass by and I realize I haven’t worked with her as much as I’d like. And working on tricks in the house is quite a bit different than working on important behaviors for being out in public. It’s hard to make time for this.

If you’re feeling the same way, you might want to check out Clicker Expo. Held in Los Angeles on January 26—28, 2007, it’s three days of intensive sessions and courses taught by top trainers, for you and your dog. A special beginners track can help you get started, or you can go deep with specialized activities like canine freestyle, agility, and clicker training with other animals.

It sounds like a fantastic time, and a fun mini-vacation for you and your dog!
