Dogs are miraculous creatures! Their keen senses, brilliant minds, and ability to adapt to their environments make them amazing partners in many endeavors. In this session, Gary Hill will talk about how developing his skills as a dog trainer and handler led him to realize the countless connections between working with dogs and leading and teaching humans. He will also share the lessons and wisdom he gleaned from his canine encounters that can make educators better teachers of people.
