Would you like to create a harmonious alliance between yourself and your dog? Learn to gain direct access to the deepest part of your dog’s temperament —his or her loving and cooperative nature. It is delightful to have your dog be calm, trustworthy, and highly cooperative while retaining the magnificent vitality of the dog’s wild heritage. Limited to 10 dogs, though more than one person can come with a dog, and you can come without a dog if you want. As Ellen helps each dog and owner in turn, you’ll learn theory and practice. Understand canine body language and how to communicate directly with your dog in his or her own language, which allows you to get your dog’s full attention in any situation. Open only to dogs and pups with no history of dogfighting or serious biting of humans. Please call Ellen (413 339-8527) to discuss y o u r dog before you sign up for this foliage retreat.
In 1998 Ellen Landauer met her mentor, Kevin Behan, a real dog whisperer and author of Natural Dog Training, and has been studying with him ever since. A Certified Advanced Rolfer with 30 years involvement in the healing arts, her work with dogs transformed her work as a healer. Her other mentor is Ena, her German Shepherd with an iron will and a heart of gold, who has not been compromised by commonly accepted training methods. Ellen is currently writing her own book about learning to trust the true nature of dogs.
