CANINE DISCOVERY
 A mini-activity camp, 4 days & 3 nights
Translating the Dog Experience 
with Lillie Goodrich & Deb Norman

Your dog uses innate senses to negotiate the world differently than you do. You can better understand this spectacular canine advantage by discovering how their mind works, their body reacts and how they perceive life with us.

Deb Norman has been teaching at the Farm for the last 3 years, bringing marvelous understanding to campers who want to pursue agility for fun or competitively. She is an outstanding teacher and dog lover.  

Deb and Lillie offer this special camp, joining her years of sport expertise and training with Lillie's years of dog expertise in reading dogs and sensing them from a unique orientation beyond training. 

Lillie's camp sessions provided such unique perspective that Deb coordinated a number of seminars for her agility club in PA. Now, these two innovators bring two worlds together in one amazing experience at the Farm


Enjoy agility with a fresh vision and uncover the canine world with new eyes of understanding.  For the fun loving competitor or for anyone who wants to work on behaviors and build a better canine relationship! 

This camp offers an in-depth understanding of dogs: 
how they talk to each other and how they relate to people and the environment.

You will discover the language of the canine and what you are missing in uncovering the “WHY” of what dogs do. 

And, you will uncover the energetics of how dogs respond. Living in a world without words means that dogs ‘read’ the energy of everything around them. That’s how they understand another dog or the humans they meet. 

The Canine Discovery camp sharpens your perceptions about the innate brilliance in dogs, going way beyond the basics of dog training.
You’ll see dogs interacting off-leash and on-leash to learn their language. And, using the sport of agility as a backdrop, you will apply the energetics of how dogs focus. Each day exercises and demonstrations provide first-hand understanding of your dog and other dogs attending camp, as well as the rescue dogs you’ll meet at Glen Highland Farm. 
If you can ‘read’ dogs skillfully and recognize how the energy around them impacts them, you can easily negotiate the world your dog experiences. You can improve your relationship, lessen the confusion your dog handles and solve situations before they become problematic for your dog.
Two main areas will be explored:

READING DOGS: By seeing dogs interacting naturally with each other, your knowledge will increase dramatically to know how to spot how dogs talk to each other – how do you know if dogs like each other; if they are going to have a problem; how they negotiate over toys, food or you; or if your dog is having trouble handling a situation. Your eyes become tuned to see the meaning in head-turns, sniffing, yawning, turning, bowing, lip curls, staring, ear twitches, the list goes on of a language worth understanding so you can help your dog in a variety of situations. And, you’ll witness the incredible clarity with which dogs talk to each other using space and time.

THE ENERGETICS OF DOGS: By letting go of the spoken word, you will gain a snapshot of the intuitive life where your senses are heightened, giving you laser-like focus on everything around you as well as broaden your respect for how accurate dogs are in interpreting what goes on around them. You’ll see first-hand how dogs react to people as well as space. And, in the action of agility, you’ll uncover your role in the energetic relationship. How your own clarity directly impacts their performance.
