Cailleach is again hosting Kayce Cover, who will be in our area for 1 weekend of seminars on August 29&30. This year she is doing seminars 1&2 of the Perception Modification series. The seminar title is Perception Modification: Teaching your dog to cope with stressors and manage his emotions. At this seminar, dogs and owners will learn the art of putting true relaxation on cue, and how to maintain that relaxation in the face of challenge, distraction, temptation, stress and time. Together, we’ll cover how to help your dog learn to manage his own emotions, cope with stressors, and make life-saving decisions. These new relaxation and coping skills are then applied, in the seminar, to help dogs cope with situations they find difficult, like grooming, nail clipping, dog arousal, aggression, predatory drives and more.

Kayce will also be available for private lessons during the week. Contact Susan via email (susan@cailleachaussies.com) for more details and a seminar flyer.

Samuel has gone to his new home. He seemed to think Martha was pretty cool! It’s pretty quiet and empty now in the puppy pen.
