Clicker Expo Registration Open for March Conference

The "Clicker Expo" sponsored by Karen Pryor's operation is an unbelievable event. I went for the first time last year and learned more than I have at any other training event. I also became more fully a clicker trainer there and would not have traded that experience for anything. It is 3 days of workshops and lectures covering a range of topics and has trainers that focus on all canine obedience (e.g. comp obedience, pet class training, assistance dog training, agility, freestyle, etc.). It is by far the best place to learn the theory and technique of clicker training. Also it is a hoot as dogs and their owners take over a hotel for 3 days. Folks are friendly and welcoming too. You can go with or without a dog too. There is one on the west coast in February and the one closest to us is in Lexington KY the last weekend in March. I hightly recommend it. If you want working spots with your dog in workshops, you do need to register soon too--though you learn just as much without a working spot.
