When you’ve trained all the exercises to fluency, and you’re ready for our advanced classes:
I took Foundation Skills for my dog, Reese, with Sarah.
This series is so helpful, not just because I gained skills to train my dog, but also to better understand her behaviour and the reasons behind our training decisions.
I loved that I could pick and choose which class module to take, as it suited my schedule.
I highly recommend this course.
