As a Nationally known Obedience Clinician, Matt has worked with many obedience clubs and private training groups to deliver a fun and informative seminar weekend that will motivate and give tools to help attendees reach their goals.  Matt has presented his programs all over the United States and in part of Canada to many of today’s active obedience enthusiast. Matt’s seminars are packed with working floor time in groups and as individuals. 

Day 1:  “Healing your Heeling” covers Matt’s base heeling program with all the non-verbal attention pieces, positions, cues, turns, body awareness, tricks for heeling, and mechanics that Matt and his students have used to compete successfully in Competition Obedience. This seminar covers widely missed portions of heeling skills dogs need to successfully execute proper and animated heel work.

Day 2: “Principles of Proofing” goes into how we layer in distractions and what those layers look like.  Focus on teaching “chaos = attention” and proof in a positive and fun manner to reduce stress from distractions on performance dogs.
