Rorem Workshop

Dave asked me to mention that they have had a few observer cancellations for the upcoming Rorem Handling Workshop in Michigan after the National Amateur. So, if you were thinking about participating, but worried that too much time had passed, throw your name in the mix.

I have attended two Rorem Workshops and plan to make it an annual event. It is a tremendous learning experience for anyone who wants to become a better handler.

I really cannot say enough good things about the experience.

What made the seminar special for you?

Ted
Dave is a great teacher. I walked into that seminar like a fumbling amateur, and walked out very smooth. That handler's triangle works perfectly, and if you get it down smooth along with the execution of your casts, it just flows with ease. (It's really all geometry). I was amazed at the water blinds I was able to do using Dave's techniques and coaching. On the last blind I ran on Sunday, I ran it extremely well with Aero, and when I came back with Honor, I challenged that line to the limit with Honor, and got a great result. The communication between Honor and I was perfect, and it showed in our performance of marks and blinds.

I had heard in the past that marks were the dog's job and blinds were the handler's. I saw readily how untrue that statement is. I was very proud of the work Honor and I did by mid-Saturday, and what we were able to achieve in a very small bit of time. I'm looking forward to getting that DVD of my work with my dog.

The focus on handling and not dog training makes it an intensive course that was just what I needed.

But Ted, I do wish you would quit promoting this seminar to others - I really don't want my competition to have the same knowledge I do! :D

It is one thing to have the knowledge.

It is another to execute that knowledge under pressure.

Dave helps people have the former.

However, only they can actualize the latter.

Ted
Very true, Ted. I was kidding about my comment, hence the :D
I agree with Dan on the whistles....... I'll keep my clear Mega whistle with the pea. I wouldn't take an orange pealess mega whistle if you gave it to me, but I still have two dogs that were switched to the green monster. One runs better with the Green Monster, as it cuts through the "thundering of the hooves" to get him stopped! :lol:
