MAURICE LINDLEY SEMINAR 2012

Maurice Lindley has worked over one thousand dogs in his thirty-plus years as a professional trainer. He credits Bill West and the West method for making him a better trainer. Rooted in the philosophy that the bird is the teacher, Maurice sets up training situations with pigeons and quail that allow the dog to learn from the bird. A check-cord, pinch-collar, e-collar, and remote launchers and releasers are his tools. Few words are spoken as he builds the dog’s foundation and teaches the steadying process. The stand command is the most important command in the steadying process. It is a non-verbal command and means the dog has to stop and stand still until released. Teaching this command is the first step in taking away the dog’s desire to chase and teaching him to be steady.

 

Maurice will present a Foundation Seminar Saturday, April 28, through early afternoon Sunday, April 29. An Advanced seminar will follow Sunday afternoon and continue through Monday April 30.

 

The Foundation Seminar will cover:

·        Training with pigeons in remote launchers and Higgins releasers.

·        Introducing pups to birds and gunfire, and building prey drive.

·        Introducing the pinch-collar, e-collar, and stand command.

·        Beginning the steadying process, and backing.

·        Introducing experienced dogs to this method.

The Foundation Seminar is $250 with a dog and $200 without a dog. Your spouse is welcome to accompany you ($25). A continental breakfast and hot lunch are provided both days and a non-refundable deposit ($50) is required to reserve your spot.

 

The Advanced Seminar will cover:

·         Transitioning your dog from pigeons to quail.

·         Training with quail in releasers.

·         Training on planted quail.

·         Advanced use of the e-collar.

·         Backing and Problem solving.

The Advanced Seminar is $275 with a dog and $200 without a dog and will focus mainly on quail work.

A continental breakfast and hot lunch are provided Monday and a non-refundable deposit ($50) is required to reserve your spot.
