Heather will be offering the OCBA Level 1 online course again starting in fall 2017.  This is a multi-species course (ie. you can use any animal you wish as your course animal, not just a dog), with 12 lessons over 13 weeks.  You can find more information on it here: OCBA Level 1.  Enrollment is limited.  If you are interested, send your CV and some information about yourself and your training interests to Heather by email.

MSSDS recently celebrated its first Annual Graduation celebration.  Pictured are some of the Service Dogs that MSSDS sponsored and/or certified in 2015-2016.

Heather is the Past President of the Maritime Specialty Service Dog Society (MSSDS), a registered non-profit to train service dogs.
