The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking
new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

Is "hands-free" training always positive?
TalkTraining: Nov 18-20
Are we perpetuating misinformation that guidance with hand contact is a negative experience? Or are people not learning the skills of “good hands”? Can our hands teach with clarity and also be the core of rewards?

Taking your learning
to infinity
and beyond.
Annual fee £140
MicroLearning is a chance to explore small bites either with the TalkTraining 3-day forums, which is likely to be a deep dive kicking of in one topic but spreading many threads I am sure, or a short course of one lesson and two weeks application for video uploads and feedback. There will be plenty of selection through the seasons, or you can use the Project2020, teach yourself, prepare some material and bring along to the MicroLearn.
Power of anticipation
Exploring concepts using the focus and motivation that can be used in anticipatory conditions.
The Fade-In Protocol
Celebrating 20 years since Learning About Dogs become a proper business in an age when dog training was only regarded as a hobby. The growth has made education much more accessible and available to great numbers. As I build this new, exciting project compiling all that I have learned I realise that there are hundreds of interlinking threads connecting one area to another.
At last, digital learning brings a benefit that a book can never provide, and offer learning in multiple formats at the same time. You can read, watch, interact, listen; explore understanding, apply your learning, get feedback and expand in a direction of your choice.
With these new eyes you get to view landscapes that you did not know existed.
