"I took Kanga to see Maryna for a private session. Maryna corrected the shoulder injury, her gait, as well as her temperament. The night after attending her class with my other dogs was one of the most peaceful evenings I have spent with these three dogs. Kanga is now far softer and has been able to accept appropriate dominant gestures from Kait and Todd - without fighting. I can now feed all 3 dogs in the same room, and Kanga has begun to initate play with the other dogs without aggression."

"I brought my extremely reactive Aussie to work with Maryna. Under the best of circumstances, Tucker barely allows people to touch him. However, he quickly allowed Maryna to apply the 'holds'. Since then, I have supplemented the work with what I learned during the Kinaesthetics™ workshop and observe a more relaxed dog. He has almost stopped pacing - something he was doing incessantly before the sessions. I also see an increased tendency to 'think' himself through stressful situations rather than reacting at the slightest provocation."

Judith and AnyaLittle did we know, that Jan. 10, 2004, would be the first day of the rest of her life for Anya, our doberman. That was the day Maryna came into our lives. She was watching Anya move at a seminar and when she saw enough, she was introduced to us. We knew Anya had problems, she had an overly developed front end and underdeveloped rear quarters. When she walked, she was bunched in the middle of her spine. She had a tail that was never up, she had difficulty sitting, she never ran like other dogs, and tired quickly. The first thing Maryna did was work on the tail, and spine, and front end. She told us what to expect after the session and it went exactly as she told us. Two weeks later, we spent two days with Maryna working on Anya, and the changes were coming at a fast pace. With tail up, and a terrific Doberman prance, we not only have a great looking dog, but one that interacts so well with us and we owe it all to Maryna."

2 Day Clinic - Sept. 24 & 25

CANINE KINAESTHETICS CLINIC
K-9 Basics Dog Training Facility
Marlton, New Jersey

and
Diane Gallagher, DOGTRAIN, Inc

Lisa and Diane are both certified Kinaesthetics Specialists.  During this clinic, we will introduce new students to the value of BodyWork in dogs based on the principles of Kinaesthetics.  We will review the basics with those students who have attended prior clinics and help them continue their education relative to the skill levels they possess.

Canine BodyWork is an every day procedure at DOGTRAIN.  Clients range from those who are on a maintenance schedule for quality-of-life, as well as the new clients whose presenting complaints vary from ordinary bad behavior to overt aggression.  Knowing these techniques has accelerated my ability to communicate effectively with the many dogs who have become alienated from human interaction due to discomfort somewhere in the body.  Almost all of the overly reactive puppies I see have physical issues which can be improved with the use of Canine Kinaesthetics.

We will teach students to recognize irregularity in movement or structure, and to understand the behavioral/structural correlation in dogs.  Physical limitations are at the root of many behavioral issues in the dog world, from aggression to subtle variations in confidence.  The dog's social language is contained in its body.  If the body is impaired in any way, social communication will suffer whether the communication is with other dogs or with humans.

PLEASE NOTE:  This clinic is intended to provide the maximum amount of education to participants.  While we work with difficult dogs using these techniques all the time, this does not create the best learning atmosphere for students. Well-mannered dogs are welcome at K-9 Basics Dog Training Facility.  This means your dog can be touched all over without complaint, can sit and down with distractions of other dogs, and is neither people nor dog aggressive.  {Exceptions may be made after consultation with Lisa and Brian Berg -- 866-592-2742}

Dogs must be current on Vaccinations or possess current acceptable titer levels with written proof.  All dogs must be crate trained as they will be in the same room as the clinic. The cost of the clinic is $650, and this includes educational handouts, drinks, breakfast snacks and lunch both days.

Payment is due in full by September 20th.  Checks, MC/Visa and Discover are accepted.
