By the time this is published, I hope to be fast asleep on a Northwest Air jet, sleeping my way to Portland, OR. The dogs have been safely delivered to Lake Anna where they will vacation until I return. They probably won't even know I'm gone. Meanwhile I'm pining away without them.
I'm headed to a sold out Clicker Expo, where I'll be giving a talk to dog trainers. I'll also be learning. A LOT! Here is a sample of some of the talks at Clicker Expo:
- Smart Reinforcement
- Total Targeting
- Vexing Training Issues and What to Do About Them
- Learning Games and Play for Dogs
- Clicker Research
- Six Powerful Strategies Get You Through Training Blockages
- Training that Heads Off Behavior Issues
- Concept Training: Copycat? Copy Dog!
- Punishment and the Public
I'll be bringing all the great ideas from Clicker Expo back with me. I'll also be Tweeting from the conference. Follow me on Twitter: @smartdogu
Have a great time!
I had heard Portland was sold out, which is very cool. I’m planning to go to KY in March, and am definitely excited.
I’m especially looking forward to some of Ken’s sessions on mimicry. He talked some about his work with this at the conference at UNT last spring, but I’m excited about actually getting to see some of it in action.

Wow I wish I were going. Have fun!
I hope you had a lot of fun there. So how was the ClickerExpo?
