Ken Ramirez Seminar, Day Two

Sweet Cody out for a walk.
Day two of the seminar began on a super chilly morning, the same as Saturday did. Everyone bundled their dogs inside and settled in for another day of education about everyone's favorite topics - training and dogs!
Ken started the day off with discussing concept training, modifiers, and adduction. We saw videos of concept training in guide dogs and adduction in dolphins. Lunch came as a welcome break to sit down and process all of this information and make room for the afternoon session!
We headed out for a walk and Cody conitnued to handle everything with grace and aplomb. Moche was feeling better, but despite her happy bouncing around and puppy antics, I kept her potty breaks short. Since she had a major bought of gastroenteritis only two days ago it was important for me to encourage her to rest as much as possible.
We headed over to the Ahimsa store which is full of great products like Kong Genuises, Eggs, Freedom Harnesses, treat pouches, and of course some treats!
Afterwards it was back for the afternoon session on mimicry and training social animals in groups!

Thanks so much Ken and Ahimsa for putting on such an amazing seminar. I can't wait to see future speakers come. It's a great facility, wonderful people, and all around a fantastic time! Bring something to write with though and a hard surface, because you'll be taking a lot of notes.
Cody gives Ahimsa Dog Training his "Mark of Approval!"
