What our students are saying
" I loved this workshop. I'm not very interested in heeling, but am very interested in developing core and back strength for my dog and I found this to be a fantastic resource. Plus I'm really impressed with how Bobbie's workshops integrate into her classroom platform: this is my first workshop in her classroom and the content is very intelligently organized in a way that I find enhances my learning experience."

Disclaimer: Some information in this workshop may overlap or appear in other classes/workshops due to the foundation needed for many behaviors, tricks, and fitness exercises. In addition, there are overlapping skills needed for many different performance activites so you may see exercises that are the same but packaged up differently toward a slightly different goal.
