be warned, there is detailed weekly homework

Please note that this class is homework intensive, and you will be your dog's primary training experience. Follow-through and effort are essential to achieving optimum results. However, with dedication and hard work, you and your dog can achieve great success in this class.

The classroom is where we teach you. At home each week is where you study and work to improve your handling skills and understanding of how your actions and efforts affect your dog;s behavior.
