á La Carte Topics Classes
Introducing the ALL NEW Dogz’nHarmony Flexible “á la carte” Topics Classes at the Barker Shop. These classes are short, quick and to the point, and fit into any busy schedule. With Flexible “á la carte” Topics Classes, each class focuses on just one area of behavior. You can take any one single Topic or take all of the Topics Classes you’d like. What’s unique about this program is that we assess you and your dog in the beginning of each Topics Class. With that assessment, we have built-in challenges for every person, every dog and every level. All handler/dog teams are set-up for success!
Depending on the “á la carte” Topic, Topics Class sessions range from 1 – 4 weeks. Each week is one credit. For example, a three week class is worth 3 credits. For scheduling convenience, choose a class on either Wednesdays at 8 p.m. or Thursdays at 6:45 p.m. Classes meet one day per week. 45 Minute Sessions.
