I have heard that there is pre-work to complete before Fundamentals II. What is it?
In keeping with the highly interactive and personal emphasis of Fundamentals II, you will be required to complete two important assignments before you attend: (1) Prepare and submit a video showing a behavior issue with a dog; (2) Prepare a two to three minute speech from a list of provided topics that you will present to your fellow students. We will provide complete details about the pre-work when your registration is approved.
Tell me more about the video assignment. How will it be used?
Your videos do not have to be polished productions. All we need is about five minutes of video (shot with a smartphone) showing a dog’s behavior issue or problem. You will send it to us before your attend. We will edit it to show the dog’s most important behaviors. Each afternoon during the program, Cesar and all participants will watch several of the edited videos, identifying and discussing the dogs’ behaviors. It’s a powerful experience. We will provide you with more instructions about the video after you register.
I'm nervous about public speaking. Is that required?
Yes. Your presentation is one of a series of challenging exercises that will stretch your abilities and build your confidence. Through these, you will learn how to how to manage your personal energy to remain calm and assertive in all situations.
Is there a welcome orientation before Fundamentals II begins?
No. Fundamentals II starts bright and early on Thursday mornings. We will meet you in the lobby of the host hotel to be sure everyone has a ride to the DPC. Once at the DPC, we will provide a brief orientation and get right to work.
