Puppy Start Right One-to-One: The Private Client Curriculum
Debbie Martin
Are you interested in teaching Puppy Start Right Preschool classes, but have a business model that’s based on private training? Do you have a client who can't make it to your group puppy classes?
You need not worry, because the Puppy Start Right Preschool curriculum can easily be modified to a private lesson format. In this Session, Debbie Martin will show you how she reworks the group class curriculum for her private puppy clients. Using the tools and curriculum from KPA’s Puppy Start Right for Instructors course, Debbie will show you how a five-week private package can be customized to fit the needs of your private puppy clients.

Competition Right From the Start
Eva Bertilsson & Emelie Johnson-Vegh
Many Agility Right from the Start readers are saying, “This book is not just for agility,” and they are right! The principles and procedures laid out in the book transfer very well to a variety of other dog sports.
In this Session, authors Eva and Emelie connect the dots for you. Can you use Good Agility Practices for obedience training? Can you see the similarities between heel-work and weave-pole exercises? And, what’s up with those spontaneous starts, anyway? Everyone committed to reward-based sport dog training will enjoy listening to Eva and Emelie share their list of trainer priorities, discuss session set-ups, and reveal some pet peeves.
This lecture will include a PowerPoint presentation, videos, and demonstrations by the presenters.
