I am really enjoying teaching the online introduction to companion dog detection sport( nosework/scentwork) I also see the students really getting into the class and doing an awesome job on their homework!
This all being said I would like to offer the intro class again towards the last part of January. I would either make it an earlier time slot on Wednesday lets say 600-730 or 630-800 PM or I would even think of a Tuesday night class or a Thursday night Class.
The other classes that I have on the horizon are:
Please send Tony a Private message if you have interest or questions. Tony is wanting to gather a feel on how much interest for all of the upcoming classes.
