I loved the skill building and how Michelle broke down steps in doing them. They can be applied to every level with some tweaking and I can use them for my dog. It was helpful to see recognize the strengths and weaknesses (especially some of the mistakes/miscues) in my own teamwork with my dog.

Michele provides a lot of information on the upper levels, and how they differ from NW3. She give specific examples of what you need to train, and how you need to start well before getting to those levels. Very helpful!

The handling and termination topics, the video examples, and the strong point of view — Michele never waters things down, which I love!

I love Michele’s approach to teaching and I learned so much from her in this webinar. No matter what level you are at, you will find something valuable in here! I had many take aways and lightbulb moments during this webinar. I love the way she talks about “the bubble” and how she handles suggestions during the search. Just brilliant. I’ll going to be relistening to this one.

Apart from simply always appreciating Michele's explanations and examples...1. Anticipation of termination, new to me, might use this with my less experienced dog to help her understand 2. The 1-suggestion rule...a good one to keep in mind 3. The okay to ease back! I use this a lot but often feel almost guilty about it as you hear so much about moving in these days. Pendulum swings in the training world.
