New digs for dog training help

/0 Comments/in /by

We’ve had an offer accepted and are looking forward to our own home in Swan View. Not too many swans around, but there’s a park across the road, which we have a nice view of.

I’m stoked, Susan Garrett has decided to offer a free course. I’m in! 🙂 (It’ll help offset the $100+ I spent on a professional animal training text a few months ago.) Susan does good online courses.
