Bonus Topic: Teri Ann is the only instructor that offers a bonus topic: AZ Wildlife & Your K9. This class focuses on the wildlife of AZ and how you may have to deal with medical situations out on our beautiful desert trails. This portion of the day is very popular and several students, from referrals, have flown in from out of state just to attend this class for this topic.
