This summer I enrolled Audrey into "Friends of the Family Dog Training" Circus Class taught by Francis Metcalf and his wife Norma. The class was an absolute blast for both of us.
There is a great write up about them and their class in a recent article in SFGate
We have even enrolled in Circus II coming up in a few weeks. Francis is a fantastic teacher and I highly recommend this class to any one who wants to have something engaging and fun to do with their dog(s).

of us also took a four day class with Andrew.
At the Seminar we all had a great time and were exhausted after each day of work. I don't know how Andrew did it. He worked tirelessly each day, only taking a lunch break and a few needed bathroom runs.
Everyone appreciated his positive, low key, no nonsense approach to working the dogs and handlers.
Anrdrew is a great teacher and knows how to get the best from each handler and dog team.
You can view a photo album of the seminar by going to my FaceBook page.

After the Seminar four of us enrolled in a 4 day class at Andrew's place and by the end of the class all the dogs were working on scent only.
Several of us will be taking the next step to getting involved in competition and titling.
