I cannot count the number of times I have taught this Course over the years.

Course I: Fundamentals of Relationship Based Behavior Modification and Training. It is exactly what is in the name.

Where: online.

When: 3 hours a day starting at 10 am to 1:00 pm Central time. This time allows everyone in Europe, Africa, and North and South America to attend.

What days: July 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29. The first three days are almost all lecture time explaining as much about the base of canines including history, morphology, senses, language, psychology of humans vs. dogs, communication methods, and on and on. The last 5 days are assignments given to work and record you and your dog working specifics and recording it. Then I analyze each second of everyone’s videos for your benefit.

While this is a fundamental class for all proceeding courses at the Institute, this is also a stand alone Course for anyone that wants to understand more about dogs and how to actually begin to reach them better, become more effective, and have better results.

This course is offered in person and on line. Each has similar features but are unique in ex*****on.

If you are interested, curious, or just wish to know more about dogs and their human connection, this is the beginning. This information will help you, regardless of your method, philosophy, or techniques. There is no requirement to continue studies afterwards, although most find so much value that they do continue to some point.

There are limited openings for the online classes, however there are still a few slots left for this class.

I was very busy today. Came downstairs, out in back with the dogs. Our pre-feeding rituals and work. Came in. Started preparing the dogs’ food (Catfish and other stuff). All the dogs go to their normal waiting locations except for Bosch. Bosch always goes to one of two places in the den. Not today. He came in and laid between me and the sink cabinet where I was cutting up the Catfish. He deliberately placed his paw on my right foot. Left it there until I finished cutting up everything. Then he pulled it off of the top, sniffed my boot and laid his head on it. He has never laid here before. Ever.

As a service dog, Bosch is extremely sensitive and has the best innate situational awareness of any dog I’ve have ever encountered.

My right foot has been throbbing all day. Painful. Hobbling around, using a trek pole to walk with some of the times. It has been broken, probably in a couple of places for over a month. The past three days, before today, I was doing a lot of physical things. Even with the foot killing me.

Bosch knows. He sees it, senses it, smells it, sees the heat difference. That’s my boy. I snapped this photo right before I moved.

Why don’t I advertise? Why don’t I market? Our students, professional trainers and canine enthusiasts, are our ads and marketing. If you ask them what each course is about, and what they learned, they are hard pressed to define each course in an “elevator speech” amount of time. Each course is a deep study of a broad range of canine - human aspects. If you really understand dogs in human’s hands, the human is 50% of the equation of the pair. Not more, not less. If the human can comprehend a much deeper and broader problem solving partnership with a dog, the outcome will always be better for both.

That is what we teach. The most in-depth understanding of you and the dog possible. If you are truly wanting to be the best professional, handler or enthusiast, consider asking our CHRI students.

Shortly, we will be posting interviews from various levels of our students and colleagues. We hope these will provide better clarity.
