Three-Day Seminar with Suzanne Clothier

New Perspectives on Canid Behavior
    Beyond the Fields We Know

Whether you love wolves, dogs, or other animals, this weekend will offer you a way to deepen your appreciation of what the natural world can teach us about our relationships with other beings.
This seminar will offer you a conceptual framework, as well as practical skills and techniques for looking at and living with canines, which will deepen your appreciation for and understanding of the canines.
The seminar is led by Suzanne Clothier, animal trainer and author of “Bones Would Rain from the Sky”, and Pat Goodmann, ethologist and curator of wolves at Wolf Park.   Go to www.flyingdogpress.com for more information on Suzanne and her extensive background with dogs and other animals.

Participants will:
-Improve observation skills
-Learn about nuances of behavior
-Shift perspective
-Learn new ways of thinking and seeing

Activities are designed to broaden your approach to and understanding of canine behavior, including:
-Wolf Soap Opera, a role playing game
-Interacting with wolves
-Anticipating behavior- ‘what comes next?’

The seminar will synthesize information drawing from fields as diverse as physiology, neurobiology, neuropsychology, cognitive science, anthropology, ethology, biology, ecology, hence the name ‘beyond the fields we know.’
