Another E Collar Without Conflict seminar in the books. These guys and gals down here in Texas work hard. The dogs are proof. I like that every one of them have attended numerous seminars put on by the biggest names in the industry. They are always learning. Always improving. Keep killing it guys.

Another great class in the books. Thanks to the handlers and their hard work. Great group of people here. Things I heard today “his heel has never been this good” and “until this class I had to choke him off of everything”

Usually I will try to do drop ins at a couple gyms when I am out of town but when I find a good one I just go there. Three nights in a row at in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Great classes, great instruction, and a great culture. Thanks guys for inviting me in and not killing an old man.

Flew to Maine Tuesday evening. Taught Wednesday and Thursday. Last night after class I flew out here to Sacramento, Ca. Got in late. Up early and hitting the gym. I haven’t done box jumps in awhile. Glad to see the 30” is still doable (my PR is 42 #.) The issue is though I have a 30” inseam so getting down is fun. The second video shows I can still launch from a distance but need a little work on a wobbly box.

Just finished another great e collar seminar. This time it was my Advanced E Collar Without Conflict class for handlers who have been through my original e collar seminar. It’s my second time in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin with these teams. I really like this group. They work hard. I threw a lot at them. Teaching long distance, out of sight, outs. Using tone to get a non verbal out in a tactical environment as well as using the e collar in all aspect of their work. Some of the scenarios are for the dog and some are for the handler. Some are for the team as a whole. Thanks again to Kari and Charlie at .us for having me out and trusting me, again, with their teams.

Gym #37 Had a great class and rolls with Scott and crew at Silverback BJJ in Wisconsin. Very clean gym with good instruction. I love when everyone is super inviting at a new place.

Part 2 is available now on YouTube! Eric Stanbro discusses fixing releases from toys, decoys, and anything else your dog wants to bite WITHOUT conflict. Eric discusses a step by step process that every handler can use. .
