“I also feel much more confident in my ability to advocate on my dog’s behalf…”

Tara exceeded my expectations in all aspects of this course. Her many years of teaching is evident in the course construction and presentation of information as is the amount of time and attention to detail that went into creating this course and providing feedback to students. The course is laid out well, building from one week to the next with many fun, hands-on, interactive activities that really solidified the weekly topics. By the end of the course, I had a much better understanding of how structure and gait are interconnected and can affect the dog as a whole. I also feel much more confident in my ability to advocate on my dog’s behalf if I notice any issues in the future.
