Online Classes
We are now offering Online Classes! Each class is 3 weeks long and all done from the comfort and safety of your home. We are using Zoom Conferencing so that all classes online will be similar to how they are held in person – we will be able to see and hear each other so I can demo with one of my dogs and then coach each of you through the exercises. Zoom is very easy to use and you can connect using a computer, tablet or phone anywhere you have internet access. Classes are small and provide individual attention.
