Wow, can you believe it is already 2015? I can't! Last year flew by and while it was a great year in some respects, it was a tough one for my family as well. Looking forward to what 2015 will bring.
I am going to be focusing on my classes a lot this year. I really enjoy teaching group classes, it is probably the favorite part of my job. I will still be offering private training, but will likely be focusing on conformation and puppy training for my private consulting. This doesn't mean that I will not be doing any behavioral cases, only that I may be referring some of those off to some of my highly skilled and qualified colleagues who are also trusted friends. In addition, I will be continuing to offer Friday evening classes at Dodger's Paws in Pleasanton.
Take a look at our schedule and be sure to register if any classes peak your interest! Remember that classes, particularly beginning classes fill up quickly, so be sure to register in plenty of time to ensure getting in.
New Online Registration
Many of you already know that this year I have decided to begin offering online registration. This is simply an easier and more efficient way to run my classes. No more contacting me for a registration form and waiting to get it back, mail it in, etc. Now, you can simply go online and register for class immediately. You may pay at the time of registration with your credit card or you may mail a check in within three days of registering. I trust that this new system will make things much easier for all of us. That said, bear with me as I work through this new system and learn to navigate my classes and schedule in a new way.
Once you and your dog are registered, you will remain in the system and be able to easily sign up for classes. Our class schedule can be found here https://braveheartdogtraining.dogbizpro.com/Public/Registration/Index.aspx. Please note that you will still register for Castro Valley Adult School classes via their website at www.cvadult.org.
