At Daytripper Dog Training we teach you how to train your dog. We feel that it’s important for you to develop the skills to teach your dog desired behaviours because, after all, it’s you that lives with your dog. The methods we use are all positive, but don’t confuse that with permissive. Dogs need guidelines and boundaries. Let us help you establish what works best for you and your dog whether it’s your new puppy, your family pet or your canine athlete. |
Upcoming Events
We just had to have Tracy back after her 2008 workshops here at Daytripper and feedback like, “I’ve attended many workshops and this is, by far, the best”. Tracy’s workshops last year were awesome and all of the feedback was incredible. Her style is upbeat and motivational, with a dash of humour thrown in to keep things humming. Be prepared to learn lots and have fun while learning. We anticipate this year’s workshops will fill quickly so don’t miss this incredible opportunity. Tracy Sklenar is the Training Director at Leader of the Pack in Smyrna, New York and an instructor at Susan Garrett's Say Yes! Dog Training (Ontario, Canada.) Tracy is also a regular contributor of training articles and event coverage to Clean Run and DogSport magazines. She was also the Manager of Team Canada at the IFCS 2008 World Championships in Ingelmunster, Belgium, helping to bring home a variety of individual medals as well as the Bronze medal in the team event. Before moving to central New York, Tracy was on the staff of the Behavior Department of the ASPCA in New York City, and has appeared on Animal Planet's "Animal Precinct." She is a popular instructor and seminar presenter, having taught for clubs and schools throughout North America. Tracy has trained extensively with Susan Garrett, Bob Bailey, Greg and Laura Derrett and Susan Salo, implementing their methods into her training and teaching. She has also been lucky enough to work on the “mental game” with Olympic-champion-turned-agility-champion, Greg Louganis. Both Rebound and Export have competed each year at the Nationals in the US and Canada, getting to the semi-finals of the Grand Prix and Steeplechase at USDAA's World Cynosport Games and earning multiple class and aggregate placements at the AAC Regional and National Championships. Samson pursues a career as a canine actor, having appeared in a variety of national advertisements for Target, Ralph Lauren, Saks Fifth Avenue, Purina, and others. He is currently a canine "spokesmodel" for Target, appearing on the bags for their new line of dog food.
