There's one worth going to! Make the time if you can get there. Mark knows what he's doing...and how!

Thanks Bobby for posting. Remember everyone it is for all handlers that want to pick up good information, not only for the ones that want hands on work with Mark.

If Sonya and I were not already committed to judge that weekend, I would be all over this seminar.

This a great opportunity. I wish I could go. I'd love to know one or two of Marks secrets.

Re: Basics seminar with Mark Smith of Southlake Kennels 9/28
Great, I think everyone walked away with something to work on or think about for next dog. The new members with pups going thru force fetch really got a lot out of it. We are going to try to put on one in the spring for mid to advanced level. Not sure when or if Mark will do it, but will let all know sooner this time.
Re: Basics seminar with Mark Smith of Southlake Kennels 9/28
I can tell you from personal experience that as much as a pro would like to give seminars free or even cheaply, it's not practical. If travel is involved that adds to the difficulty. Most of us try to make our feeds practical for the clubs that host the seminar.

Re: Basics seminar with Mark Smith of Southlake Kennels 9/28
Evan, Mark did us a hugh favor. The spillway is so close to him there was not travel time, and we were able to do members that wanted hands on work for 25.00 and 10.00 for just coming if you are a member. 50.00 for non members hands on and 25.00 for non member to watch and listen . IT was a last minute thing so we only had 16 people but that worked great for us.

Yes he is. He is also now doing something different. You can make a appt with him to work with you and your dog one on one for 1 hour and he sends you home with homework to do until next week.

I need to go visit him on "whistle sit."
