    Sylvia Bishop?

    Hey there everyone!  I have the opportunity to attend a local Sylvia Bishop seminar in the near future.  From what I can find online, she seems to be very highly respected as well as very successful in the world of obedience.  The only thing I can't seem to find out about her is what, exactly, her training philosophy is.  As a recent cross-over trainer, I would hate to show up and find out that hers is a method that relies strongly on compulsion.... especially as I would prefer to sign up for a working spot (I'm very much a hands-on learner). 

    I know this forum has a strong showing of people who use marker training and other positive reinforcement based techniques.... so figured it would be a good place to throw this out there for opinions.  Thanks for any info you can provide!

    I'm fairly certain that Bishop's methods are similar to Victoria Stilwell's.

     Silivia Bishop has done seminars at Top Dog, where Caleb & I train.  Unfortunately, they're too expensive for me to attend.  But, from what I've heard and seen from those that have attened, Amanda is right.
