Training course by Felix HO
(dog trainers from left to right) Vincent John, Felix Ho and Mr. LaiWe attended a training course held by HKBeagle Club yesterday.
The Trainer ~ Felix Ho from Melbourne, Australia, who graduated with his bachelor degree in Animal Science from La Trobe University. Beside his academic achievements and a high level of hands-on experience, Felix has also proven his refined skills as an active and successful competitor in Schutzhund, a highly demanding dogsport involving tremendous control and precision of the animal. Felix is the first, and currently the only person in Australia to bring up, train, and title a Belgian Shepherd Malinois to SchH/IPO3 level.

The training was quite fun and interaction, My dad was asking to being train by the clicker, hahaha..... yes! training my dad !! First, dad was sending out of the classroom, then Ms. Kathy ( my dad's trainer ) decide a task for dad to complete, Ms Kathy(the trainer) can't speak, the only thing to show dad he is doing correctly is the Clicker. Game started with dad's confused eyes, he was trying to find his way, he was spending almost 15mins but the very simply task still can't complete, finally, Felix gave dad a hand, he pushed the clicker on a really good timing so that dad really understand where and what to do next. The Task was completed finally. The purpose of the game was showing us how important of a good timing when using clicker for training.
And ofcourse Q&A section, blah, blah, blah........!!

Hey, that is a good game! It really helps people to understand how important timing and good communication are! I bet it was funny watching your dad try to figure out what he was supposed to do!
My mom took me to protection training, which was leading up to Schutzhund training. When I was trained up really good, we were going to go into competition, but then I hurt my knee. *sniff-sniff* I loved it. Where we training at, they also had some Belgian Malis being trained for police protection. They are crazy dogs!!! Very good at what they do. If I were a bad guy, I'd be very afraid of a Mali coming after me!
That clicker excercise sounded like great fun and must have been very enlightening to everyone. I now regret not going with Cream... :(
I agree with amstaffie, seen several Schutzhund trained Malis and they were so scary!
