Yesterday, we wrapped the 5-day Ecademy course up at my business in Northern Kentucky. Robin was not only an incredible instructor but also the easiest person to work with in coordinating the event. Robin was extremely self-sufficient and organized. She made everything as easy on me as the host as possible and even pretended to enjoy my cooking! As for the course itself, I really don’t think I can explain well enough how impactful those five days were. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to attend and host countless clinics, seminars, and conferences. I’ve graduated from a professional dog training school, read more books than I should say, and have paid a lot of people to help me become a better trainer, teacher, and business owner. This was, hands-down, the most inspirational, life-changing, and business altering of any that I have experienced. Robin was dedicated to making sure that each participant was keeping up, engaged, and getting the hands-on work required to truly understand the material. Every day, we were split between class time and work time, working dogs just as much as we weren’t. I have been to too many workshops where dogs are crated for 95% of the course, barely worked, and bored out of their minds. That was not the case at all during Ecademy. By the end of our time together, each person and the dog with them, had grown exponentially in their skills and understanding of the material. By the end of day yesterday, I had already told my clients about the changes that would be taking place at my company, and they were overwhelmingly exciting just by my enthusiasm and eagerness to bring them this opportunity. Robin also fostered a safe space where we were able to come together to discuss more than just this training technique. We were able to hold deep conversations during lunch and even had participants staying after to continue their learning, bonding, and conversations. It takes a truly special person to make each participant feel involved and important. I know this course is an investment, but it will be the best one you’ve ever made.
