Weekend Seminar
Every year Delta offers 2 day weekend seminars in capital cities by leading veterinary behaviourist Dr. Gaille Perry and renowned animal trainer Kerrie Haynes-Lovell.
These weekends will provide you with the latest information on dog behaviour and training and are suitable for all levels of experience. Attendees will receive a Statement of Attendance.

6 day Workshop
This study will gain students entry into an exciting 6 day workshop in Sydney where they will participate in lectures and practical training supervised by a group of talented Delta instructors. We also work with shelter animals - a very mutually beneficial exercise. Students will also have the opportunity to hone their training skills in more advanced exercises supervised by Kerrie.
