Hosting a Dog & Bone seminar
Sally is available to teach a 1 day Film and TV Masterclass workshops throughout the UK.
Overview
Seminars to teach owners and their dogs the behaviours required for film and TV work. The event will include assessment throughout the day and suitable dogs may be given the opportunity to be added to www.dog-and-bone.co.uk 'Available Dogs' list and put forward for film and TV work. This is not obligatory and the day is equally suitable for people who simply want to spend a day working with their dog. Attendees will need to bring a selection of treats and toys and something to encourage their dog to settle, for example a crate or blanket.
Who the seminars are suitable for
One dog and one owner teams, it is not possible for people to work multiple dogs. Dogs must be sociable enough with other dogs and people to work in close proximity to others. Basic training is required but a range of abilities in one class is also possible as the group is split into ability groups. Spectator places are usually available.
Requirements
Indoor area with enough space for the group to sit on chairs around the edge while others are working their dogs at up to 6 feet away from the handler. Maximum 8 working handlers and dogs (occasionally we can increase this with two trainers, please get in touch to discuss this) and unlimited spectators. Please ensure the attendees are suitable for the course. An outdoor area is nice but not required. A good sized tale is required to set up some items and we may bring a few products of my own stock to sell. The event starts with a 30 minute presentation at the start of the day, during this time sometimes dogs are left in vehicles or crates. We need a projector and screen for this and can supply our own if required.
Times
The seminars usually run from 9am to 3pm or 10am to 4pm with a 1 hour lunch break. Weekdays are preferred but we can do occasional weekends.
Remuneration

We may be able to supply our own Motorhome for our own accommodation and if so, would require is a flat parking space (approx 2 standard parking spaces long), ideally with access to a power socket.
