Workshop and Seminar with John Rogerson, April 30 May 4, 2014 (3 Day CSI Workshop Followed by 2 Day Aggression Seminar ) Canine Crime Scene Investigation: This is a course where we spend time training you and your dog to become a super sleuth. Training will include: relationship building exercises, tracking, arson detection, explosive detection (we don t use real explosives!), drug detection (we don t use real drugs either), fire arms detection etc. Then you ll be working in a team of dogs and handlers and attempting to solve a heinous crime using your canine detective and your powers of observation and problem solving skills to solve the case. NB This course is not intended for law enforcement officers as it is a fun mystery course designed to create new ideas for running dog training classes where there s a real purpose and end result to the training. For this course you bring your own dog, leash, food treats, and lots of toys and enthusiasm. No prior training is required, but as your dog will be expected to be social able around other dogs and team members, no aggression problems please. Canine Aggression: John talks about dog to dog aggression, dog to people aggression, the causes, effects and solutions. This is not a course for beginners as the problems of aggression are covered in some depth. A good background in practical handling and training would be helpful prior to attending this course.
