"I just want to say the seminar more than exceeded my expectations. Connie is very detailed and a wealth of practical  information.  Aside from getting my own problem solved, I liked watching and learning from Connie as she worked with the other teams.  I also liked the science behind training (use of reward markers, understanding how dogs learn, types of errors and how to apply corrections) and how this was presented ahead of time. It sunk in better as Connie role modeled and reinforced the concepts over the weekend. Laid out in a systematic way, her system gives you a framework to train and encourages you to think through your problems, focus on the dog in front of you, and make adjustments to better your handling skills."

"Connie is an excellent speaker and has the knowledge to address every aspect of obedience and each team's specific needs.  She offers various ways to address the same problem depending on the dog's response to the training or fix of a problem.  She kept the audience engaged with her input of funny personal stories and humor."

" I loved how Connie included basic skills for people who are newer to obedience.  She really took her time and not only helped them solve problems, but taught them the basic skills they needed.  She did this in a way that encouraged them to continue in obedience, but also with a dose of a reality check about having and using corrections when needed for all situations.   Her continuous work with Bella over two days was a great example of her commitment to helping with problems, not just obedience exercises."
