JOIn me for an in person workshop all about THE PATTERN GAME “LOOK AT THAT (LAT)!

when:

This course takes place on Sunday June 21st from 4:30-6:00PM

where:

East Bay SPCA: 8323 Baldwin St., Oakland, CA

What:

Look at That (LAT) is a training game developed by the founder of Control Unleashed©, Leslie McDevitt MA CDBC. It is a critical piece of modern training plans for dogs who have ‘big feelings’— whether that looks like barking, lunging, freezing, fleeing, etc. LAT teaches dogs that triggers predict good things.  We pay careful attention to the dog’s body language and their offered behaviors to ensure that they remain under threshold- meaning they feel safe enough to learn.  This approach centers joyful participation, which leads to more humane and effective behavior modification than traditional coercive training methods.

cost:

This workshop is $150 for a working spot with your dog. There are also auditor spots available for people who would like to come without their pup for $60.

Payment is required before the class begins and refunds are not available for missing the class.

logistics:

There are 4 “working” spots available (human and dog teams) and 5 “auditor” spots available. We will be meeting in the indoor classroom at East Bay SPCA.

Dogs will never be in contact with each other and we will use x-pens and visual barriers to make sure that dogs cannot see each other.

Aversive tools such as prong collars, choke chains, e-collars, slip leads, and head halters will not be permitted during this course.

While not required, masks are encouraged.

who should attend?

This workshop is a good fit for human and dog teams who:

• Enjoy learning the “how” and “why” behind modern training techniques

• Want to strengthen their bond and two-way communication

• Are interested in learning how to incorporate choice into their training

• Can be successful in a learning environment near other dogs and strangers (some accommodations can be provided)

• Wish to feel more comfortable and confident around triggers (people, dogs, wildlife, skateboards, vet offices, etc)
