Workshops, and Seminars
These events are for owners and professionals who want more than quick tips or a generic training system.
At Canine Evolutions, I teach relationship-based training grounded in cynology, behavioral science, neurobiology, and ethology—how the canine nervous system shapes behavior, how learning actually happens, and why so many dogs struggle in modern life.
Some workshops are hands-on and skill-focused. Others are lecture-based and designed to change the way you see your dog entirely. Either way, you’ll leave with clarity, a stronger framework, and practical direction you can apply immediately.
Registration: Limited seats. First-come, first-served.

The Book Series Seminars (2 Days Each)
These three seminars are built directly from my books. Each one is a two-day deep dive, but the format is different depending on the topic.
The Space Between Minds — 2-Day Lecture Seminar
A two-day immersion into the philosophy and science of the relationship—why trust is not sentimental, but structural, and why so much “training” collapses under stress. This seminar is not about techniques. It’s about the missing layer beneath technique: the space where two nervous systems meet. We explore how dogs read us through breath, posture, intention, micro-movement, tone, and presence—and how the presence you bring becomes the world your dog experiences. We look at what happens when relationship is replaced by performance, when partnership becomes control, and why behavior is often the visible expression of survival rather than “disobedience.”
Format: Lecture-only (two full days) + structured Q&A
Capacity: 30 seats
Length: 2 days
Investment: $750
Through the Eyes of the Wolf — 2-Day Lecture Seminar
A two-day lens shift into the dog beneath the dog: domestication, ethology, and why modern life creates so much conflict for this species.
We trace the origin of the human-canine relationship not as a story of ownership or training, but as a story of nervous systems learning predictability—one pause, one repetition at a time. Then we follow what changed as the world changed: the loss of space, the loss of rhythm, the multiplication of noise, speed, crowding, and constant stimulation—and how dogs adapted to all of it by becoming more sensitive, not less.
If you’ve been told your dog is “random,” “unprovoked,” or simply “dominant,” this seminar offers a different frame: behavior as the final expression of load, environment, and nervous-system reality. Not excuses—explanations that lead to better choices.
Format: Lecture-only (two full days) + structured Q&A
Capacity: 30 seats
Length: 2 days
Investment: $750
The Regulated Human — 2-Day Applied Seminar
This is the most practical of the three seminars. It is built for the moments that break people—the walk where the dog explodes, the doorway where the leash becomes a fuse, the instant where your body tenses before anything has even happened.
Most owners have already tried mechanics: treats, protocols, corrections, scripts, and commands shouted into stress. This seminar explains why those approaches often fail, and it teaches the missing skill beneath every method: the regulated human state that makes learning possible.
Across two days we train regulation as a real, repeatable discipline—not as “energy” and not as performance. You’ll learn what your dog is reading in your frame, your breath, your timing, and your internal pressure. You’ll learn how to become predictable enough that another nervous system can finally settle.
Format: Lecture + demonstrations + coached physical work (both days)
Capacity: 16 seats (limited on purpose for coaching and safety)
Length: 2 days
Investment: $750
Skill-Building Workshops
B.A.R.T. Game (Behavioral Analysis Research Training)
An operant conditioning shaping game designed to teach timing, observation, reinforcement clarity, and what it feels like to learn under pressure.
This is one of the fastest ways to improve:
marker timing
reward placement
shaping mechanics
reading stress and frustration thresholds
clean communication without compulsion
Course length: 2 days
Cost: $399
Learning How to Play & Create Motivation
Most “obedience problems” are actually motivation and relationship problems.
This workshop teaches you how to create real engagement without relying on constant food bribery, conflict, or pressure. We work on:
conflict-free play mechanics
body language and movement that builds drive
toy play, food play, switching, and balance
building the dog’s desire to work with you
Course length: 2 days
Cost: $599
Deposit: $250 to secure your spot
How to Feed the K9 Athlete (Nutrition Lecture)
Nutrition matters—behaviorally and physically. This is a practical lecture on feeding for learning, recovery, and performance.
We cover:
canine-appropriate nutrition principles
the raw vs kibble debate (without ideology)
macros, micros, and what actually matters
supplements: what helps, what’s marketing, what can harm
fueling working dogs vs pet dogs
Course length: 1 day
Cost: $250
Foundations Program
From Tyrant to Teacher — Foundations of Animal Behavior & Training
It’s for people who want the real foundation: how learning works, how stress changes learning, and how to train with clarity and integrity.
We cover:
classical and operant conditioning (applied, not academic)
reinforcement schedules and why timing matters
salience, motivation, conflict, and stress
why “tools” don’t fix confusion
building training plans that hold up in real life
Format: Lectures + demonstrations + hands-on coaching
Best for: serious owners, aspiring trainers, professionals who want depth
