In his day job Hungarian Attila Szkukalek is a biochemist in Norwich, England. In his private life he's a husband, father, and dog training instructor. To the rest of us, Attila with his dog, Fly, is the best freestyle trainer and performer on the planet—and a powerful ambassador for reinforcement [0]-based training. Attila and Fly are the UK freestyle champions and perform regularly at Crufts (the British equivalent of Westminster, but bigger) and throughout Europe. Attila is a regular teacher and participant in Kay Laurence's clicker training [0] conferences in the UK. Now this dazzling team will be coming to the spring ClickerExpo [1], in Newport, Rhode Island, March 31, and April 1 and 2, 2006. Each day during the lunch hour they will perform a different routine. You'll have a chance to see and study their most popular routines, "Charlie Chaplin," and "Gladiator," plus a new performance now in training, which may in fact be Fly's last routine, Attila has announced. You can see video clips of this must-see-to-believe duo at Attila's site [2]. Then come and see Attila's work in person at next season's final ClickerExpo [2]. This is a precious opportunity; we are lucky to have him. Please join us in Newport.
