We all realize that animals learn based on a set of well-understood set of rules. In this course, participants will have access to preparatory material online, ahead of the in-person activities. When you come to Pibble Hill you will have the chance to put that information into action as you participate in a variety of activities with animal partners of different species. Join us on April 28-30, 2023

HOW TO GET CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS FOR THIS COURSE
We have applied to the International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants and the Counsel for the Certification of Professional Dog Trainers for continuing education credits. If you are looking for the opportunity to learn how to creatively apply the theory behind your credentials to the animals you meet, this course will help you to do that while earning your CEUs.
Pibble Hill is in the mountains of North Carolina near Asheville.
Unfortunately not. Our limited accommodations are filled by faculty and volunteers.
Asheville Regional Airport (AVL)
In order to ensure that everyone will have the chance to work with the animals, we have limited this course to 21 participants.
Trish and Sue have observed over the years that many people have a good theoretical understanding of training, but don't have many opportunities to get coaching on how to apply that. We have designed this course for anyone who has to handle animals and who has less than five years experience professionally. Join us and bump up your training game.

Due to the nature of this course, we cannot host any dogs other than those we provide in the program. If you ordinarily use a service dog, please let us know so that we can prepare to make the dog welcome. You will not be able to use your service dog while handling the animals in our course in the interest of keeping both your dog and the animals you will be working with safe.
Unfortunately no. This event is designed to help you to better understand animal cognition and learning in order to improve your training skills. Riding does not accomplish this. although there will be a ridden demonstration to help you to better understand how horses and humans work together.
We have applied for continuing education units from the CCPDT and the IAABC.
We have 21 seats available for this exclusive in person opportunity. Reserve your spot today!
