Los Alamos Dog Obedience Club and Endeavor Working Dog Club

Oct 11-12, 2003

Los Alamos, New Mexico

A 2-day motivational, working seminar focused on teaching, practicing, and training your dog through positive reinforcement. Behavioral issues inhibiting training will also be addressed. The Volhard experience will give you a sense of accomplishment because you will understand your dog's behavior better and you will gain experience working as a team with your dog.

Wendy Volhard and her husband, Jack, are accomplished trainers and have obtained over 50 conformation and performance titles, multiple High in Trials and Dog World Awards of Canine Distinction with their German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Landseer Newfoundlands, Standard Wirehaired Dachshunds and Yorkshire Terrier.  The Volhards are the developers of Motivational Method, an approach to training for people who like their dogs, and who have them first and foremost as pets and companions. At the heart of the "Motivational Method" is the conviction that positive reinforcement is the most effective teaching tool.

Mary Ann Zeigenfuse owns and operates Best Friends Obedience, Inc., the largest training school in Central Kentucky. She is a long-standing member of National Association of Obedience Instructors, a licensed veterinarian technician and supervisor at a large veterinary hospital. She has been teaching dog obedience classes since 1980 and her most famous "student" was the White House Springer, Millie.  She is the author of Dog Tricks: Step by Step (Howell Book House), and is a regular contributor to Off-Lead Magazine.
