‘I have followed Turid’s methods of working with dogs for years, but this
education was even more than I can ever have expected it to have been.’
There is no stopping us now, there is also no going back to how
things were because once you start to see dogs in the way that
Turid does, it brings you into another world where you truly do
respect and listen to what dogs are trying to show us.
The 8th October 2017 was the final day of the education and was
one of mixed emotions. Ecstatic we had passed and achieved so
much, sad that we wouldn’t be seeing each other on a regular
basis any more. But these types of friendships never go away,
dogs have a habit of bringing people together don’t they.
‘Can I do it again please – I loved it!’
We never stop learning, so any chance you have of becoming a
student of Turids then please grab it. I started off on the course
scared to death of her(!), but now just love her to bits.
‘Life changing’
Would any of us recommend this education to anybody thinking
of doing it….YES, go for it!
IDTE UK 2016- 17
Things will never be the
same again...
I think I can speak for everyone on that first day of the UK
International Dog Trainers Education when I say that there were a
few nerves in the room!
The 29th April 2016 was a day I had been looking forward to from
the first moment I knew Turid Rugaas was coming to the UK to
teach her education programme.
understanding correct movement, breed studies(!) and so, so
much more.
All of this has equipped each and every student to be more
confident, able to work with their own dogs, provide consultations
and classes, work in rescue, hold talks and basically share the
passion and knowledge we have all gained over the education.
‘I came here wanting to understand my own dogs better, now I am
looking at working with dogs full time.’
‘I now feel able to work with people and be able to show a way to
work with their dog that is full of honour and understanding.’
‘I’ve lost some so called friends because I’ve changed my way of
thinking totally, but have gained a much bigger family instead.’
The Little Pet Biscuit Company supported the UK AGM and Conference by
producing a hand made special order of their fabulous biscuits for us. These went
in to each delegates bag for their pets to enjoy once they had all got home.
We all arrived feeling nervous, unsure, some with and some
without dogs, trying to settle in to where we would sit, start
friendships, and appear calm...all at the same time! This was
truly a big moment for us all and our dogs.
I don’t think any of us truly realised just how big though, because
it was 18 months of open sharing of many years of experience,
knowledge and understanding of dogs by Turid that was
inspirational and life changing.
There isn’t the space to go in depth into what was covered in the
18 months but important subjects such as calming signs, loose
lead walking, enriched environments, consultations, teaching,
social walks, stress, emotions, the importance of the right
harnesses, hand signals, pee and sleep studies, writing leaflets,
demonstrations, presentations, treat searches, the brain,
