How do online classes work?
Classes are held through www.fenzidogsportsacademy.com and offer three levels of participation. Bronze level classes allow you access to viewing the training program lectures and videos. Silver allows for that access, plus unlimited general questions and limited instructor feedback on your training videos. Gold level allows you to have unlimited questions and feedback on all of your training videos.
Classes run in 6 week semesters- but all levels of participation keep access to the training program reference materials for a full year.
Do I need any fancy equipment to take an online class?
No! All levels of participation require an internet connection, and silver/gold levels require a video recording device to capture clips from your training sessions. Most students use their smart phone and a tripod is helpful. Any equipment you need specific to the class is listed on it’s course page.
