Delta Society Seminar In Grafton

[sheena]

I am thinking of going to a Delta Society Seminar on Animal behaviour with Dr. Gaille Perry & Kerrie Haynes-Lovell. Can anyone enlighten me as to if you have been to any & how did you find them ?? Thanks, :)

The 2-day one that is the intro to their trainer program?

I went last year in Sydney - and really enjoyed it. I would happily listen to Kerrie talk all day for 2 days - a week for that matter.

I considered doing the course but decided not to due to the narrow focus on purely positive (and the cost).

But the two days was interesting and worth the investment as a standalone (IMNSHO).

Yes..it is the two day intro one :) Not sure if I would go on & do the rest..not just the cost of the course, but accommodation & all that stuff. Maybe if I were younger & had more years left in me to put it to good use.

Gaille and Kerry are both tops. Well worth going to. I find Gaille very authentic- she owns multiple Belgian Shepherds which is refreshing! Kerry is an expert in bridge training (obviously) and I would also happily do a week-long workshop under her instruction. :)

Thanks guys, I think you have talked me into it :)

Ooh. This sounds really interesting.

[sheena]

I'm looking forward to it :)

It's great! I highly recommend it. I went to the 2 day seminar last year in Melbourne and enjoyed it immensely. I opted not to continue on with the rest of the course though.

For anyone who may be interested here is a "copy & paste" :)

I was considering going, I believe I can write it off on tax because of my work but even so, after this last week from hell with dog + bird being at the vet, I can't afford the extra money in these next few months.

Hope you enjoy it :) and I hope they get such a great response that they come back next year!

Maybe the boss could sponser you :)

things are a bit tight at the moment, but we've turned a corner, so I see a lot happening in the next year :)

Grafton is a bit far for me to go at this time of year but I saw they have them in melb/ syd next year. So that is something to remember. I have a feeling I will never be free of studying...
