Eric Salas Workshop – Round Two!

Fri – Sun, Oct 15th-17th

Smart Dog Training Center, 910 Curtin St, Houston, TX 77018

We had such an awesome experience with such a great group of people that we’ve decided to host a 2nd workshop with Eric! He’s agreed to spend 3 days with us this time. Everyone loved the facility, Smart Dog Training Center, so we’ll be there again. Most of us will likely have been vaccinated for COVID by then, but it’s nice to know that we’ll be in a training facility that has air scrubbers so powerful that neither COVID nor common cold nor flu viruses are easily communicable.

Notes About The Workshop

Workshops will be filmed, all participants will be included – no exceptions.

To reserve your spot it must be paid in full. No refunds, but your reservation is transferable if the new participant is qualified for the event.

The workshop is progressive in nature, so Day 1 is required to register for Day 2 and Day 3. Even if you have taken a All Breed Workshop from Eric Salas before, he promises you will get more out of this class if you take entire progression.

Workshop Schedule

8:00am – 9:00am Registration and load in dogs
Please note that we start at 9:00am with or without you, if you are late you will miss this class just like a show!

9:00am – 12:00pm Classroom work There will be one 15 min break in-between

12:00pm – 12:30pm Lunch

12:30pm – 4:30pm Working with dogs

This is a rough itinerary. Workshops may go as late as 5:00pm

Please treat these times like ring times at a dog show, if you are late you are missing your ring!

Food and Drinks

Darcy will send additional details regarding food and drinks a few weeks before the event. Everyone enjoyed sharing lunch and snacks together so much the last time that we’ll be looking for good tasting, affordable options for this next event. Stay tuned, and watch your email for updates.

Hotels

For hotels that accept dogs, I like to use Bring Fido. Please make sure pet policies and fees haven’t changed by calling for current rates and pet policy.

The owner of Smart Dog Training Center suggests La Quinta Inn Houston Northwest (at Hwy 290 and W 34th St.) It is nearby, has been renovated, and takes dogs. There are many affordable and luxurious choices if you don’t mind traveling a little farther from the site. Most hotels near Hwy 290 will be more desirable than those near IH 45.

We look forward to seeing you!

Part 1 All Breed Handling workshop is required for Part 2. There is no time to teach the very important skills learned from Part 1. Even if you have taken a Part 1 All Breed Workshop from Eric Salas before, we promise you will get more out of this class if you take another Part 1 class prior to this class.
