Here’s what a current student has to say about our online classes:
For almost two decades I’ve trained multiple dogs and various breeds at Family Dog with Kathy Lang and her staff. Not only do I want a well behaved dog, but also a dog who is living up to their strength and potential. I trust Kathy and her staff to teach me this. I have spent hours commuting by ferry to attend classes at Family Dog, and feel fortunate to have this level of training available. Kathy Lang’s training methods are successful . I value her expertise, professionalism and profound ability to watch myself and my dog work together as a team and help us improve and grow. The week before Coronavirus struck, I brought home an 8 week old puppy. We got in one puppy class before Family Dog had to close. Thank goodness Kathy is offering on line courses. I am able to continue my class and the level of training I value. Not only does Kathy provide well presented information through videos, but also my questions are answered in- depth and immediately. I learn from other students’ questions as well. I enjoy working at my own pace, and especially like that I can re-watch a video and submit my own video or picture as part of the learning process. The on- line courses Kathy Lang provides continue the quality teaching I have grown to expect from Family Dog .
