ONLINE LESSONS VIA ZOOM/SKYPE
No matter where you are in the world, we can work together virtually! Online lessons offer the same individualized support and guidance as working with a coach in person, while overcoming the logistical challenges of bringing your coach of choice to your farm. Just like in person, I offer online lessons in driving, groundwork & lunging, and liberty training, customized to meet your own unique needs and goals.
I offer two different options for online lessons, to best suit your needs and resources, and to accommodate time zones and weather factors. With both options, I encourage you to record your lessons to re-watch later for your own learning.
OPTION 1: LIVE LESSON
All you need is an internet connection, a computer/tablet/mobile phone with a camera and the Zoom or Skype platform installed, and a wireless headset with enough range for your schooling area. Position your device at one end of your arena, with as much of your working area in the frame as possible, and we can work together in real time.
OPTION 2: PRE-RECORDED LESSON
Alternatively, you can video your schooling on your own time and send me up to 15 minutes' worth of video a couple days prior to the lesson. We will then meet on Zoom/Skype to watch and discuss your video together, and give you homework to practice.
COST
Whichever option you prefer, online lessons are 45 minutes long and cost $75 CAD. Email me to book.
