Seminars...Who would you like to see - Page 1

I am lining up seminars for the 2012 season and would love some suggestions on who to invite to speak in our neck o the woods.  I'm currently poking at Mike Ellis and Janice Gunn.  Would love some imput.  Need about 5 more speakers for the year.

Where's your neck of the woods?

If it's close to my neck of the woods (New Mexico) I'd second Michael Ellis.
Been to a Bernard Flinks seminar and would do it again in a heart beat.....great teacher.

Tony Nikl at CanCzechDogs. Period.

Hi we are in Williams Lake BC.  Lots of clinics in Vancouver but it is really hard to get anyone up North.  So I am on a mission to run some great clinics for us Northern Folk :)

Brynjulf,

 Who do you train with in Williams Lake?
 

Hah, do the States a favor and keep Michael Ellis in Canada.

brynjulf , if you want some great obedience input , get lucie kalocova from czech republic , she is very good in ob but also super in explaining it to the crowd

 I would like to spend a week with Helmut Raiser.

Felloffher,  I train on the coast mostly.  ( don't worry i'm not an associate of mr. your lab is so dumb you must beat it with a radiator hose....)  Tried to get in with the Prince George batch but they are not taking new members.  it would be great not to have the haul to the coast regular...  OK  I have to ask about your user name.  What does it mean?  inquiring minds want to know

I have been to both Janice Gunn and Ellis seminars.  What is the audience for these seminars?  I have attended Ellis seminars annually for 8 or 9 years so obviously I enjoy Michael's training style.  With that said, my understanding is that Michael rarely does traveling seminars these days as his focus is on his school in N. CA so I would check with him before getting too far ahead in plans on having him come up. 

My local all-breed club had Janice Gunn out for a weekend seminar and she was good.  Definately was geared more towards AKC style obedience and training for specific exercises etc.  She could have seminars tailored differently due to interests though - this was just the topic of our seminar. 

So I think that it depends on what you are looking for in a seminar provider. 

One person to look at is Bridget Carlsen:  http://www.bridgetcarlsen.com/host.html

I have not been to one of her seminars but hear they are fantastic.  Hope to attend one in the future.
