Workshops & Shadow Program
Dog Psychology shadow program
Our shadow program is perfect for the established professional dog trainer looking to hone in on their skills or the beginner looking to start a career in the world of dog behavior. This intimate program involves following our head behaviorist Colleen Steckloff (very closely) throughout her day of client consultations, rehabilitation work with aggressive and fearful dogs and pack work. But don’t plan on just being her shadow! This is a hands on program, so prepare yourself to be part of the pack! Colleen will also tailor challenges specifically for your level.
These are full days, generally 9am-5pm.
Please contact us at dave@lak9s.com for pricing, please include the dates you would like to book.
“If you like to learn something unique, you have to be taught by unique people. Colleen is unique as a person and as a dog trainer! She is very experienced in bringing dogs with behavior issues back in balance and to train people to lead their dogs, so they can follow. She knows solutions if you think there are no solutions anymore. During my shadowing time we were working with her board & train dogs with different techniques & methods and I also joined her at her client’s house visits. Both gave me great insides which I can apply during my work as a dog trainer which has made me and my work here in Europe more unique too! My clients realized straight away my growth as a trainer upon my return from L.A. So it was totally worth it to travel from the Netherlands to the U.S. for this unique experience. And I will for sure return!”
