Online Participation Instructions
Due to COVID-19, we will be switching this workshop to online in an overabundance of caution, so the dates will not have to be switched for those wanting to attend.
Here is how this workshop is going to work online:
Everyone will be sent out a pre-recorded video course about the exercises for the Get Focused! Workshop on April 25th.
Working spots will have the chance to submit videos of them practicing these exercises with their own dogs for review. You will have a week to submit these video via YouTube link to your instructor, as well as any questions or concerns you had while practicing.
Auditors may also ask questions, but not submit video.
On the following Saturday, we will put up another video with the video reviews and Lauren Tsao answering questions asked. Instructors will be friendly and positive in their feedback - so please don't let fear stop you from submitting your videos!
