Just another reminder about the Thursday classes.  There is going to be a learning curve for everybody so this one is free.  Make sure you have the link if you're interested.  If not, just disregard this email.  Make sure you have your iPad, phone, or laptop in a well lit spot so I can see you.  Please mute your device so there isn't the roar from the crowd.  After I introduce the exercise with Rip, I'll move from one person to the next to see if there's anything I can help with.  If you need to ask a question, please feel free to unmute yourself.  There is a hand raise option but unless I'm constantly checking, It's tough to keep track of.  Try to have all training devices ready.  This week all classes will need a perch and 2 dowels.  The Obedience II folks will need their dumbbell as well.  Both the I and the I+ class need something shaped like a cone.  I have used a bar stool when push came to shove.  Try to have those things within easy reach.  When you're not working your dog, the same thing would apply as if you were in a training room class.  Have your dog on a down so you can concentrate on the exercises being discussed.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Looking forward to seeing everybody on Thursday.
