FAQ

  • How old does my dog need to be to take this class?

    There is no age limit, but we recommend that you finish a Basics class first! For that reason, we say that this class is ideal for dogs 6 months of age and up, but if you have a younger pup and are ready to build on your Basics foundations, go for it!

  • How long will I have access to the course?

    You'll have access to the course for one year from your enrollment date.

  • What if I have questions as I'm working through the course?

    We have a private Facebook group just for students of our online classes. You can post videos and ask questions there!

  • How long does it take to get through the course?

    It takes a minimum of 4 weeks, as new content is released to you every 7 days. Many of our students take more than one calendar week on certain course weeks of content. It's up to you how fast you and your dog move through the material!
