On March 3, 2020 we will start this information-packed and exciting session.

Here is the 12-week Outline.

4) Preparation and storage – both of these count greatly, and will affect the healthfulness of a cooked diet – we’ll cover cooking methods, problems with high heat and browning, how to minimize nutrient loss and some tips on making the whole thing easier

5) Supplements – the Essentials, from A to zinc – what you need to add depends on what foods your dog can tolerate – and how much!  we’ll cover preferred  forms and how to use them, and which ingredients/additives are to be avoided and which are not an issue for your dog

This mini-course will cost 100$ for the twelve weeks –  $50.00 for the  Earlybirds (until February 1) and includes the following bonuses:

1) 15% off a proactive consultation with me for a cooked, personalized recipe or 20% off a therapeutic service

2) 50% off my eBooklet on using the NRC values for home-cooked or (non-PMR) style raw diets

3) 25% off a Q&A email session at any time during the tutorial

So, how does it work? Easy peasy- the tutorial runs out of a Facebook classroom, and consists of twelve sections, as described above,. I post my own unique materials in the Files, and will be present in the classroom twice a week for two hours each time, to discuss each topic in detail and answer questions from the group. This tutorial will provide focused information you can rely on work with and utilize. I endeavor to make it enjoyable and easy to follow at the same time it will be thorough and detailed.

There are no assignments,  but plenty of exercises and weekly discussions. I will be “live” in the classroom twice a week,  for discussion time but will collect and answer questions asked in between those times. There is no need at all to be online at any given time, it is great if you can be, but if you can’t you can still access the material and discussions, always.

The schedule/times I will be active in the group are as follows:

– Tuesday, 2 – 4 pm

– Thursday, 2-4

Both classes are Eastern Time, too.click here:
