Clicker Expo 2011

 Julie Vargas-Skinner

Emma Parsons

I signed up for the January 2011 Clicker Expo in Newport Beach, CA. This will be my fourth time attending. This year I will visit labs and lectures with Eva and Emily, Cecilie Køste and some lectures with Emma Parson and Ken Ramirez. I will visit with my daughter who is living nearby and hopefully get a ride to the Ocean. For me there is nothing more breathtaking then the Ocean. I miss it every day.
I am going to see some friends form SoCal and look forward in meeting new ones.

Clicker Expo location for 2010 has been announced. It will be in Doubletree, Oregon on January 29th-31st.
Already time to start planning some of next years seminars?

2009 Clicker EXPO

2009 Clicker EXPO locations and dates have been announced. They will be Jan. 16-18, 2009 Austin, TX and March 27-29, 2009Providence, RI
Texas would be my choice. I will wait and see who they are going to have. Kay Laurence would be the one I would go for. Kathy Sdao has been great and I would want to go see her again and of course Ken Ramirez. Will see what else is going to happen in 2009.

Seminars in 2008

I just got back from a seminar with two time World Agility Champion Silvia Trkman. It was great!! Didn't want for it to stop. She is an amazing trainer and really helped me out to do some very nice handling. Ryker enjoyed the experience and he was very well behaved in his crate when the other dogs were running.
I shared the ride to Colorado with my friend Julie and her dogs Rift and Cash. We shared a room at the Drury Inn. Rift was signed up to attend the puppy class. I was auditing it. Some of the exercises I already knew to do. But she had some other great ides, which I will incorporate into my classes as well.
Next Seminar is going to be a small one with Liz Blasio in April, with Ryker. Then I signed up for a working spot at C Spot Win Camp in July again with Ryker.
And in October I am signed up for a working spot at the CU seminar with Leslie McDevitt, with Ryddick.
I think that will do for this year unless something else pops up that I find interesting. I did attend the Clicker EXPO in L.A. in Febuary and that again was a great place to be.
Since I flew out there I did not bring any dogs. Wish I could take Raygen or Rylie to those. Next year I may work for Sandra and will get free pass to the EXPO. More money for the store ;-)
