What to Expect
Each week at the time of class you will join the Google Meet link above. Class will be a mixture of the trainer presenting new materials and teaching concepts, with live practice exercises for feedback, and occasional review of submitted videos. If you are in class, we ask that your video is on unless you've notified us due to travel or other extenuating circumstances - this just lets us engage more as a class together and helps be able to see the dogs' progress as they practice. At the end of each class you'll be sent with some action items to practice for the week. Sometimes these will include uploading videos of training sessions so we can review them together in the next class. We highly encourage asking questions and engaging during class - it's not meant to be a silent classroom or a formal meeting! The first meeting will be largely introductory and go over more details about what to expect, so if you still have questions don't panic! You'll find out more once we all are together.
Supplies
Supplies will be shipped to you prior to the start of the class. These will prepare you for the first few weeks of class so no need to worry about buying items before we start. As we progress, there may be additional required or suggested supplies (such as materials to build a scent wheel), but there will be a few weeks' notice.

Class Materials & Links
What if I can't make it to class?
That's not a problem! Every class is recorded so you can go back and watch the meeting before the next week. Just make sure you watch it in time to submit any videos for review, or work on things so you can ask questions in time.
Billing
You're first payment to reserve your spot in the class is your first month's class fee. The next class fee will be billed the second month of class (May). Each month will be billed toward the start of the month via the automatic payments. If you have any questions or would like to change anything related to billing, feel free to reach out!
