One of the hallmarks of excellent training is the ability to create a plan and stick to clear criteria. But successful trainers are also flexible and alter their plans based on feedback from their learners in the moment. Finding the right balance is important. If a training session is too tightly structured, protocol can upstage the learner. If a training session is too open-ended, it can result in lumping, confusion, or slow progress.

Join Sarah Owings at ClickerExpo Washington, DC for her Dem-OH! Set the Rules So You Can Break Them: Balancing Structure With Innovation in Training where you will learn a simple way to structure, assess, and continually improve training sessions, a method that has room for innovation built right in. During registration, let us know you’re interested in being a “Dem-OH!” volunteer and we may select you and your dog to demonstrate a concept in front of the audience!
