Fall /Winter 2020

Due to the pandemic, I won’t be teaching in person classes until spring. Until then, you have some on-line options.

Our first round of on-line courses is drawing to a close. Despite the technolocigcal learning curve, they've been a success, and in some ways better than in-person learning. Folks are able to go at their own (or their dog's) pace, the material is always available for review, and you can still get questions answered through Zoom coaching calls. Of course, I miss seeing canines and humans in person.

New courses start the first week in January. 2021.
