SouthPaw Training is changing the class set up for Basic Obedience. We have reduced the size of the Group classes to make it safer and more inline with the Covid recommendations.
We are now trying a 4 student/dog class, making it less to worry about in a group setting. This class will be a 1 dog, 1 person limit, unless you are signing up for 2 dogs. If a student signs up for 2 dogs, you will need to have second person come and handle the second dog. This will give students more time in training and help the students and their dogs learn more from each week's exercises. I hope this will also make future clients more relaxed and feel safer with the smaller class sizes.
Right now we are experiencing a large number of students requesting to progress into the Intermediate/Advanced (I/A) level. We are working on a way to offer this program to all students who wish to attend. Dividing the class by Intermediate and then Advanced is an option. There are only 4 students currenlty in the Advanced level. That leaves 11 students in the Intermediate level, which is not an ideal number to work with. We are contemplating offering an evening class, but that does not leave much sunlight to work in, as this is an indoor/outdoor class.
While we are working out the details, we have started a waiting list for the I/A class on Saturday. If you wish to attend the I/A class and want to be on the wait list, please contact us. When texting, please make sure you sign your text, so I can identify who is sending the text.
