Join us for four days of in-depth discussion, scientific analysis, and hands-on training with Forrest Micke and Stewart Hilliard. This event will focus on the essentials of modern dog training, including the application of functionally-defined aversive control, and is appropriate for trainers working in a broad variety of disciplines, including companion dogs, working dogs, and obedience training. Forrest and Stewart will be joined by internationally-famed agility competitor Daisy Peel to bring new innovations to the special technical challenges of training for high-level agility competition. Working, audit, and livestream options are available.
Join us for four days of in-depth conversation, scientific analysis, and hands-on training with SoCal’s Darshan Herran and Dr. Stewart Hilliard. In addition to being an industry-leading expert on progressive dog training and behavior modification, and a very successful competitor in French Ring Sport who has trained dogs since he was knee-high to a grasshopper, Darshan is a very nice man whom you could definitely take home to meet your mother. Stewart, however, will cuss enough for the both of them. This event will focus on core aspects of modern dog training, including the application of functionally-defined aversive control. The curriculum will be appropriate for trainers working in a broad variety of disciplines, including companion dogs, working dogs, and obedience dogs.
A much-anticipated collaboration between two old friends and mutual admirers: Join us for three days of in-depth conversation, scientific analysis, and hands-on training with Jerry Bradshaw of Protection Sports Association and law enforcement K9 fame, and Dr. Stewart Hilliard. Jerry and Stewart will teach the core principles of modern working dog training, including the application of functionally-defined aversive control. The curriculum will be most appropriate for trainers and handlers of sport and military/law enforcement working dogs, and will focus on obedience and bitework. Substance detection and tracking training will be addressed in other Kynology events. Because Jerry and Stewart are both too old and too smart for this shit, dumb young virile dudes will be summoned to take all the bites, muzzle punches to the face, confusing directions, and verbal abuse.
All the science, twice the caffeine, probably at least one good party, and more cussing than ever! Join the incomparable Michael Ellis, the puckish and masterful Forrest Micke, and the deeply irreverent Stewart Hilliard for five days of behavioral science, the ethics and data underlying animal welfare, and the history, mechanics, and future of dog training. We’ll play updated cuts of all our grooves, and some new songs, too, and like Bob we may suddenly go electric and &%$# with your mind. If you were here for Kynology 1, 2, or 3, you know what you are in for, only more. If not, then buckle up.
This event will be appropriate for trainers working in a broad variety of disciplines, including companion dog, working dog, and obedience dog training. If you haven’t seen how Leigh hosts an event, then prepare yourself for an exercise in masterful organization, impeccable taste, good humor, and nostalgic music– not to mention fresh fruit and little &%$#ing chocolates and stuff she puts out to make you feel at home, and all loved and shit. As jaded, disorganized, and irreverent as Forrest and Stewart can be, they loved the first Kynology/Opportunity Barks event and can’t wait to go back.
