Apprentice Course testimonial: "Signing up for TrickMeister is one of the smartest things I have done this year.  I am an instructor at a local dog training facility and teach trick classes... I have learned so much more about the science and mechanics of training.  They have totally inspired me to delve deeper into subjects I thought I knew.
