“Irith's presentation on the "Imitation Game" is fantastic for both the casual dog training geek and the serious professional trainer. She presents the information in an engaging and relatable manner, and ensures that each team is successful. She also keeps the auditors involved with the learning process of those in working spots, so everyone goes home fully understanding the process. Irith shows empathy during any struggles while providing constructive feedback, and also genuinely celebrates everyone's successes with them.
The "Imitation Game" is a test of patience for both dog and human, but also an incredible tool in teaching perspective (both philosophical and visual) and fine-tuning one's communication with one's dog. My bond has been further strengthened with my dog, and I can't wait to see where our new knowledge will take us!
If you have the opportunity to attend this course (whether as a working spot or as an auditor), don't pass it up. If you have an opportunity to take any other course with Irith, don't pass it up. Irith is such a fantastic presenter that as I told a friend, I would pay to listen to her describe paint drying - she is a gift to the dog training world!”
