Comments from Denise Nord:

If you are interested in learning more about dog behavior & training, this is a great opportunity to see Ian Dunbar here in the Twin Cities this fall. Its 3 days, but you can attend 1 or 2 (or 3)  Its well worth the cost and you will learn a ton.

I've been very fortunate to have Ian as a friend & mentor for many years - he is so willing to share what he knows, and I owe much of my training skills to him.
He's an entertaining speaker, very funny, with that dry British wit.

I'll be there & hope to see some of you, too!
