Dear Canine Companion Guardian,
Moongazer Dog Training is excited to host the world-renown dog expert
John Rogerson for a
four day canine crime scene investigation (CSI)
training seminar! We
encourage you to join us for this special event during November 18-21, 2010.
At Moongazer, our philosophy is to assist you in learning to understand
your relationship with your pet and improve it. All of our
classes and private training sessions focus on being fair,
kind and consistent in order to communicate to your pet your
expectations.
Our John Rogerson Canine CSI Training Seminar is no exception!
Just like at Moongazer, John will assist you in training your pet with humane, gentle,
positive techniques that your companion can learn from and comprehend.
Through teaching your pet a new activity, your companion will have another outlet understanding
what behaviors are acceptable and you will be able to spend more time strengthening your
relationship with your dog and less time being frustrated with unacceptable behaviors that are
difficult to control.
Please read through our course descriptions and consider joining
Moongazer Canine Companion Training's
John Rogerson Four Day Canine Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) Training Seminar!
Sincerely,
Lisa R. McCluskey, BS, CPDT-KA

Come Join Moongazer Canine Companion Training for
Four Days of Canine CSI Training with John Rogerson!
November 18-21, 2010
Past courses of this type have included:
- Tracking, scent detection, advanced control and problem solving
- Team and relationship building exercises in a variety of groups
- Working on almost every exercise connected to controlling and having lots of fun with your dog
- The first few days train you and your dog to become a super sleuth
- The final few days train participants work in a small team of dogs and handlers while attempting to solve a heinous crime using your canine detective, your powers of observation, and problem solving skills to sort out the case
- Arson, explosive, firearm, and drug detection (real weapons, accelerants, explosives and drugs are NOT used)
JOHN RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TWEAK COURSE CONTENT BASED ON THE
ABILITIES OF DOGS AND HANDLERS ENROLLED ON THE COURSE.
Seminar runs 9:30A - 4:00P daily.
Maximum of 20 dog/team handlers per day and a limited number of non-working auditors.
Seminar will be held in St. Joseph; easily accessible from I-74,
Oaks Rd. (1850N), Rt. 45, Rt. 150 and Main Street (2200E).
Please Note: This course is not intended for law enforcement officers as it is a fun mystery course designed to create new ideas for running dog training classes where there's a real purpose and end result to the training.
