Testimonials & Reviews
A sampling of what prior students have said about this course ...
I took this course at gold with a dog who had some gaps in her foundations. Sara's feedback was wonderful, and she had great ideas when things didn't click right away for us as a team.
I really enjoyed working through this class and feel as though my dog and I gained a lot of understanding throughout the course.
A lot of material is presented, but it is not overwhelming, because it is nicely structured and it is easy to focus on the exercises, that are more relevant for the team taking the course. I learnt a lot, also from the exercises that I could not fully work through and will have fun with the course for some more weeks. Great!
Sara was great at giving me feedback on what I was doing. She made it easy to understand what she was talking about and gave good examples when needed.
Sara is awesome, and as with all the FDSA instructors, has a keen eye and great ability to break exercises down into manageable pieces. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed it all, lectures were very well written, feedback was great, just wish I would have been able to get more videos uploaded!
