Successful completion of the course prepares you to create and present a Level I or Level II DogWork® presentation. We’d love to meet you at an in-person titling event. Meanwhile, online presentation options are being considered. The best outcomes are a stronger connection with your dog, developing teamwork, and FUN, being creative with your dog.

Access to the course or any portion of the course lasts for 1 year from the date of your first payment. Subscription for subsequent years is offered at a discount. ($150 per year)

THERE’S MORE THAT’S FREE!
