Morro Negro to Host Dog Training Seminar on November 28-29
The APM Club will hold a seminar focused on training dogs for hunting and competition in Morro Negro on November 28 and 29, 2026. Open to both members and non-members, this event will be led by canine educator Himar Saavedra Suárez and the Volcanoes of Fire School.
The seminar aims to provide practical training for enthusiasts, hunters, handlers, and professionals, with an emphasis on understanding and respecting the natural traits of dogs. Participants will learn how to enhance their dogs’ abilities while maintaining a balanced and stable approach to training.
Key topics include:
-
Education: Establishing a balanced mindset is crucial for any dog. The focus will be on obedience, self-control, trust, emotional stability, and effective communication between dog and handler.
-
Preparation for Hunting and Competition: Training will cover essential skills such as locating, retrieving, and respecting game. Emphasis will be placed on technique, patience, and progression to ensure a reliable performance in the field.
-
Mechanical and Biomechanical Dogs: Understanding the difference between dogs responding mechanically and those that use instinct to think and act is vital. The seminar will aim to channel natural instincts effectively for hunting and competition.
-
The Handler-Dog Connection: Success in dog handling relies on a strong bond. This segment will focus on interpreting canine responses and establishing clear communication, fostering a teamwork-oriented approach.
All participants will receive a diploma and certificate of attendance upon completion. The APM Club will also provide breakfast and lunch on the second day of the seminar.
This event, supported by various canine and hunting organisations such as the Federation of Canine Associations and the Canary Hunting Federation, presents an opportunity for attendees to deepen their understanding of dog training tailored for hunting and competition.
