The Dog's Social Instincts

- and how you can use them to build
a rewarding relationship with your dog



The K9joy "Instinct Seminar" is a compressed one-evening version of the big weekend Seminar/Workshop "How to Impact Your Dog's Social Behavior". It contains the bare minimum of what you ought to know and understand about the way your dog functions, mentally.

This seminar will give you a working understanding of how the dog's instincts work, with particular emphasis on the social instincts that control the way the dog interacts with you. As an introduction to more in-depth training, it is a great way of entering into the dog's mental world. Standing alone, it will most probably convince you that you need to dig deeper into this stuff in order to get full value of your relationship with your dog!

The seminar will cover the fundamental "recipe" for how all instincts work. How they are deeply integrated with the dog's behavior and the way the environment impacts the dog. You will understand why your dog does what it does - to a much deeper level that now starts to make sense.

The seminar will explain why you cannot leave it to chance to structure the way you interact with your dog - and why any kind of "democracy" or "let's-talk-about" attitude from your side is doomed to create a very frustrated and very unhappy dog! Human standards for social interaction simply don't work for your dog. You need to know what to use instead. This seminar will tell you.

Can't make it on those dates?
Or at those locations?
Or looking for something different?

We plan our courses and seminars on the basis of the input we get from people who want to attend them or arrange them - so please let us know what you are looking for! We will be happy to take a look at your ideas and suggestions, and if we can make them happen, we will do it - and we will notify you.


Ordering by phone:

If you do not have a credit card or a PayPal account you can use on-line, we can find other ways of taking your order manually, even cash. You are welcome to give us a call at +1-403-770-1867 so we can help you with the necessary instructions. (If you call from Europe, you may use +45 36 98 02 98 evenings only.)

Be aware that we do not take credit card information over the phone - it is a ridiculous risk for you and a very unnecessary liability for us, as we will have to use that information on-line ourselves, in order to expedite your order - and then you might as well do it yourself via the links on this page! And then we have to take care of destroying the information we got from you.... Paying by credit card via PayPal online is far more secure than any other ways you possibly could use your credit card - physically handing it to a merchant you see in person is far more risky...

Please note that there is a $10 charge for all expediting any off-line orders manually.


Ordering by mail:

If you do not have a credit card or a checking account you can use on-line, you can always get an International Money Order*) from a nearby post office or bank, where you can pay cash.

Make sure the Money Order is made payable to K9joy and add $25.00 to cover our processing and banking costs. (If anything else than exactly the four letters AAMI is put into the field "Payable to...", we cannot cash your Money Order, and it will be destroyed when we receive it!)

Then send it in an envelope you can trace to this address

K9joy
3980C Riverview Road
Creston, BC, V0B 1G2 Canada. (If you live in the USA, you may use this address instead:
K9joy, Box 641, Porthill, ID 83853)

Be aware that, regardless the main address being in Canada, the amount is in US funds! (And you will have to pay your local post office in your own currency, so please do not get confused...)

Please enclose with your payment the information we need about you, including:

  • What exactly you order - we need the title and the format (download, CD, print)...
  • Your name and shipping address
  • Your e-mail address
  • Your phone number

----------------------------------------
*) We do not accept personal cheques, whether drawn on a personal account or a business account - it takes over 6 weeks for the funds to clear and costs the same, so it is a ridiculous way of processing payments...
