The Fluid Motion Online Video Class runs for 6 weeks, every week a new written or video lesson (or sometimes both a written and video lesson will be posted, or two video lessons) is uploaded for all of the students to view.
Additional lessons will be also posted for each class, the topics for the supplemental lessons will vary, topics could include; Timing of Rewards, Toys vs Treats, Hand Signals, etc.
Students can also upload video clips of their own showing their own dogs working on the current lesson, Amanda can then provide feedback on you and your dog's progress.
Class chats will also be held throughout the 6 week class sessions, during the class chat sessions students can ask questions about current lessons or any issues their dogs may be having.
Students can read/watch the lessons at their own pace as well as joining in on the discussions, there isn't a set time for the classes to meet. We will have general class chats during the six week period that will meet at certain times, Amanda will try her best to work with everyone for a good class chat time.
You can view the forum where the classes will be held at http://fmaonlineclasses.ning.com/
