WORKSHOP—
THURSDAY
All inclusive dog show specialists
We offer our professional services to Clubs who want to put on CKC
events but are not able to do so due to their own particular circum-
stances.
We will do EVERYTHING, beginning with submitting applications for
the event, and finishing with submitting results to the CKC and paying
all expenses—and everything in between! We even provide the set-up,
clean-up and take-down for the event!!
All we require from the Club is some information and some signatures.
You can sit back and enjoy a successful and fun show with no worries!
For details check us out at our website: www.2-for-the-show.ca

Calgary Kennel & Obedience Club proudly presents
Transformational Puppy Evaluation and Matching Connecting Dogs and Owners So All Thrive
A two-day seminar with
Gayle Watkins, Ph.D.
Avidog® International, LLC
September 21 & 22, 2019
Abbeydale Community Centre, Calgary, AB
This two-day seminar will focus on the why, what and how of puppy evaluations, so that pups are matched to optimal homes where both dog and owner will thrive. Even the best pup won’t reach its potential if it isn’t in a home where it fits well.
Saturday (Puppy Eval 1) begins with determining why we need to evaluate and match puppies, how to evaluate prospective owners and homes, and evaluating health, structure, and natural working ability. We will end the day with an introduction to temperament and the components that make dogs more or less successful in their homes.
Sunday (Puppy Eval 2) continues with an in-depth look into temperament, identifying those traits that do not change over a dog’s lifetime and those that can be influenced by breeders and owners. We will then watch and score an Avidog Puppy Evaluation Test (APET). From there we will try our hand at matching puppies to homes and developing individualized training plans for each pup.
After the seminar, all participants will have access to a private resource page on the Avidog website and be invited to join the private The APET Facebook group where we continue the discussions started at the seminar.
Who Should Attend?
The seminar has something to offer any serious dog person but will have particular appeal to:
• breeders of competition, working and pet dogs
• working dog owners and handlers
• performance dog owners
• dog trainers
What past seminar participants have said
Avidog seminar? I would miss a dog show, an agility trial….heck, maybe even my own wedding to attend another seminar. -- Sharon Gayle Watkins is a first-class presenter who is able to explain complex topics in a straight-forward manner while still being very entertaining. Her methodology on puppy testing is revolutionary and will change the way we place our puppies. It is not only easy to implement, but it is intuitive and repeatable. Her seminar will teach even the most experienced breeders something new. – Debbie Garland
It was a super seminar and Gayle was a great speaker. I truly enjoyed everything about it. It was so informative on puppy testing!!! – Marie Nadeau
About Gayle
Scientist, retired Army officer, college professor, business owner, and 40-year dog breeder and competitor, Gayle has quite a varied background that she brings to researching and teaching dog lovers that key things we can do in puppyhood so each dog is as healthy and stable over an active lifetime.
Gayle has recently been honored as three years in a row as the AKC All-Breed Breeder for the Year for Rally (2016), Agility (2017), and Tracking (2018). She is also a Gold-level AKC Breeder of Merit with over 130 American and Canadian conformation and performance champions, as well as Qualified-All Age and Master Hunters. Gaylan’s ability to evaluate puppies and place them in the right homes has been essential to her success. Today, her courses at Avidog University and Avidog-Zink Ventures are the Gold Standard for dog breeder education.
