In our Live Online Training you'll spend live time in an interactive learning environment from the comfort of your own home, with talks and demonstrations from Eric Salas, combined with home study and practice.In addition to live training sessions, you'll have access to video tutorials and other resources in an online learning centre.You'll also get ongoing coaching and mentoring from Eric via WhatsApp, plus personal feedback on your completed homework.
This is where it starts! These modules will help you get the most out of anything you want to do with your dog. The progressive modules are suitable for everyone from beginner to professional. Learn how to earn true mutual respect with the most difficult of dogs. Agility, dock diving, obedience, rally, barn hunt, fieldwork, conformation - creating the ultimate companion starts here.
The modules are designed to help identify both obvious and subtle areas in your training and handling skills; together we will make them your strongest areas. Many will spend years and fortunes on entries, travel, and training without the desired results.
You can now accomplish all of this without the expense of traveling to an Eric Salas Workshop. From the comfort of your own home.
The initial four modules give you a start connecting with your dog and a blueprint for all training. All modules will be taught in pairs on two successive days. The length of each module will be approximately 3 hours.
Additional online modules allow for time and introduce additional techniques to establish a greater relationship with your dog, build communication and practice all elements for conformation training. Detailed grooming workshops for all coat types will also be offered.
The Live Online with Eric Salas when taken in its entirety gives you everything you would get from attending one of my workshops in person, without the added cost of travel. You will have me in your living room working with you and your dog. For a limited time, this also includes two weeks after each module of support and personal interaction on WhatsApp practicing the techniques taught in the modules. This is a free month of Online Mentorship included on WhatsApp with the Live Online Modules - a $100 value.
Each live online session will be two complete modules over a 2 day period with one month of one-on-one personal support on WhatsApp.
Each module is $150.
