You will learn how to listen to your client’s needs, gain clarity about your own boundaries, and how to handle frustrations that arise, bringing more compassion and peace to your care giving practice. This course is rooted in the deep communication work of Marshal Rosenberg, PhD. Required: $3 materials fee payable to the instructor at the beginning of the course.

Learn how to enhance the quality of your work experience, get things done more quickly, build alliances, and transform adversaries into allies. Once we learn to recognize the motivations that drive actions, we can build strategies that serve those motivations without conflict. When people realize we understand and respect their motivations, they are likely to respect and support what motivates us. This mutual respect enables us to participate in a common purpose which enhances our ability to work together effectively and achieve more.

We will explore diet myths and learn an approach to eating that will help us reach and maintain our ideal weight, increase energy, boost metabolic power, decrease cortisol and other stress hormones that lead to weight gain.

Have you ever wished you could better understand what your dog is feeling and communicating through body language? Wouldn’t it be nice to be skilled at reading an encounter between your dog and another and know whether or not it is friendly? Is one dog stressed, scared, appeasing, defensive, bullying, offensive, or socially challenged? What do you do if the interaction is dicey? How does your presence affect the encounter? Did you also know that dogs are reading your body language? What do they think you are “saying” and how can you communicate your true intent? In this class I use numerous slides and videos to instruct. We will also cover barking – the meaning of different barks and what to do if it becomes a problem. I will also share with you the science behind dogs and learning. Research has come a long way in understanding this important topic, and it is an essential training component for those raising a dog.

Thought Field Therapy is a Chinese Acupuncture Meridian Therapy whereby an algorithm or sequence of acupuncture points is tapped with the fingers to stimulate a flow of trapped or stored energy. While the person is tapping they are thinking of the problem at hand in order to release the negative energy held around those thoughts. In this course we will practice some of the tapping sequences to relieve things such as anxiety, fear, panic, phobias, and pain in our animals. The same tapping sequences work for humans as well. We will tap the dogs but can also use our own bodies to tap on as we are energetically connected to our pets and thereby clearing both of us at the same time of negative emotions which can give rise to physical and behavioral problems in our pets. This will be another powerful tool that you can use on your dogs to help with negative behaviors. Please bring your well behaved dog to class. (Minimum course size is 4 and maximum is 10.)
