Relationship Centered Training

The world explodes with distractions – squirrels dart across paths, children play in yards, and barbecue scents waft through the air. Rather than fighting an uphill battle, what if you could turn these summer challenges into training opportunities?

Suzanne Clothier's Summer School Series brings together four essential webinars that will revolutionize how you approach training during these distraction-rich months.

For a limited time, this Summer School Series brings these essential webinars together, including the exclusive What's The Problem? webinar that's only available through this offer or the RCT Reference Collection.

Anatomy of Attention 

Ever wonder what's really happening in your dog's brain when they're supposed to be "paying attention"? This webinar takes you on a fascinating journey through the complex networks of the canine brain responsible for attention. Understanding these mechanisms is like finding the control panel for your dog's focus – suddenly, you'll see why certain approaches work while others fail miserably.

Think of attention like sunlight hitting a magnifying glass – it needs to be focused to create real power. This webinar gives you the tools to direct that focus precisely where you need it.

Distractions and SQUIRREL! 

If you've ever had a training session derailed by a passing leaf (let alone an actual squirrel), this EXCLUSIVE webinar is your new secret weapon. Instead of seeing distractions as your enemy, you'll learn to use them strategically as training assets.

The webinar explores:

• Your dog's unique sensory profile – are they visually, scent, or sound-driven?
• The Stimulus Gradient – your "mixing board" for blending distance, duration, and intensity 
• Creating your own "squirrels" – how to simulate real-life distractions in controlled settings

This is like learning to surf – instead of fighting against the waves of distraction, you'll ride them skillfully.

Training vs Management

Many dog owners don't realize when they're actually training versus when they're simply managing behavior. This crucial distinction explains why some dogs never seem to progress despite years of "training."

When you understand the difference between the Think & Learn zone (training) and simply preventing unwanted behavior (management), you'll stop the frustrating cycle of "Why doesn't my dog get it yet?" Both approaches have their place, but confusing one for the other leads to unrealistic expectations and disappointment.

What's the Problem?

Some behavior issues seem like impossible puzzles – until you have the right framework to solve them. This webinar provides Suzanne's renowned approach to unraveling complex behavior, training, and performance challenges.

Rather than applying cookie-cutter solutions, you'll learn to identify the real roots of problems and address them directly. It's like having a master detective showing you which clues matter and which are red herrings.

 Instead of following rigid protocols, you'll develop the ability to see the world through your dog's eyes, making training more intuitive and effective for both of you.
