Melissa Millett's star Chihuahua, Sugar, didn't come to her ready-made for TV; she was shy, fearful, and wouldn't have been the first choice for most film trainers. However, through a principled and thoughtful teaching and training process, all of that changed.

At ClickerExpo Portland, attend Melissa’s Learning Lab to learn effective management systems for traveling with fearful animals and develop skills to recognize even the smallest signs of stress. We will begin by focusing on fostering positive associations with the environment, then move on to working with triggers. You will have the opportunity to apply all of this theory in real-world situations with your own dogs.
