Digital Dog Training Classes
Did you get a new dog or do you want to train your dog but your schedule is too hectic to actually sign up for a weekly class? Or maybe you'd like to work with us but don't live close to us...we get it! We've got you covered! We are excited to announce our new series of ONLINE classes!! All classes will run via private Facebook groups (you'll be invited once your registration is completed). The classes will run for 4-6 weeks (see class descriptions for specifics). Some classes will offer working and audit spots- working spots are for one handler/dog and the handler is encourage to post one video per week (2-3 minutes in length) for instructor feedback! Audit spots are silent- you get all of the info but do not participate in discussion, etc. All classes are self-study- you do it at your own pace! Access to the classes is kept forever, however if you select a working spot you have 7 weeks from the time you register to post videos and receive feedback- after that time you become a silent auditor.
