Distance Learning Program Starts Nov 17th

Ron November 6, 2010

We’re pretty excited here at PVybe HQ. Not this coming week, but the week after, the Pawsitive Vybe Distance Learning program starts up and classes ensue. That’s so cool!

I’ve been trying to make the online distance learning thing happen for about 10 years now and given the maturity of technology and awesome administrative support (Thanks WebManna!) it looks like we’re a “Go”.

Apryl and I are putting the finishing touches on two loaded classes: Disc Dog Foundation and Working Multiple Dogs. We’re creating documents, organizing video, and planning and preparing content. It’s pretty exciting.

Keep your eyes on our blog over the next couple weeks. We’ll be kicking out some teaser content, fleshing out the distance learning details and delivering class news.

What do you do when you have to move on a shoestring budget with a dozen dogs? You freak out that’s what you do! But we believe that when you stumble, the first thing that you need to do is lean forward.

Reading the disc is a skill that astute dogs and humans pick up rather quickly.
