Innisfree Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I need to replace dd15's usual obedience class for her dog with something online, if possible. She's doing advanced basic obedience for the second time, but has gone back after a break of about a year, thinking she does maybe want to start taking part in obedience trials, trying to fine-tune things that hadn't worried her before, like precise sitting position. Anyway, if I refuse to take her to her regular class (which hasn't thought it necessary to close yet, despite most people there being retirees!), she's going to spontaneously combust unless I can provide an interesting alternative. Are there any classes or trainers that you can recommend? It doesn't have to be obedience, necessarily, though agility was a flop with this dog. I was looking at Fenzi Dog Sports, which seems to have some classes on fear issues, and Karen Pryor. Are these good, and are there others you'd suggest? I don't want to get into paying large amounts, but I'd be happy to get a couple/few less expensive classes to keep her occupied, or maybe more for a really good class. She's already watched a lot on YouTube, though I'm not sure precisely what. I'll be grateful for any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familia Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) https://www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com/ I have taken classes by Sue Ailsby, whose Training Levels books I dearly love. She is currently on sabbatical, but from my understanding, all of Fenzi's instructors are excellent. (sorry to recommend Fenzi when you already mentioned it) Edited March 16, 2020 by Familia ...didn't fully read your post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Free videos, private sessions available, and some of the most adorable border collies ever! What more can you ask for? 😁 Also, I just love the trainer's sweet voice! http://pamsdogtraining.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
