Von Forell Australia

Kris has opened my eyes to a new world one where I can have a relationship with a balanced dog and have a better understanding of what he really needs.

Let me begin by saying "WOW!" and thanks heaps!!! The Von Forell Melbourne Obedience Training Seminar was a wake up call that I was wasn't expecting.

I was very impressed with the timely and sensitive use of Clickers and Remote Training Collars to enhance a dog’s engagement and response with the handler in the Command Training process.

I have gone to a number of different canine training seminars over the years and this one was by far the most comprehensive and enjoyable.

We came away with a greater understanding of what motivates our dog and what we need to do in order to get the best from him as well as do the best for him!

All of my questions were answered eagerly and with a wealth of knowledge, and I was made to feel more like family than a student.

The ability you have to read a dog is outstanding and something that has obviously taken you years to master at such a level. You had everyone in the room captivated when you presented the theory side which amongst dog enthusiast is not always easy.

The knowledge that you passed on to us will be of great benefit whether it is used in the show or obedience field.

The methods in the "Precision Tracking" book make a lot of sense, and are easy to communicate to the dog. In Kris's book, he covers teaching a dog to "track" human scent on the ground and on the article. This creates a reliable tracking dog.

I must say though that now when I see you work Kris you have an amazing sensitivity to your training and an ability to translate and pass on what you see and feel through the dog. It made me tear up to see you working those pups....
