Player’s Handbook

Class Options Starting in Spring!

In addition to group classes below, Like Magic will be offering more virtual options for training beginning in Spring. Expect to see familiar topics for full length courses offered with virtual working spots and presented live with coaching as we look to expand virtual services this year.

In addition to full length courses, workshops will be offered to deep dive on specific behavior, training, or enrichment goals, also beginning in late Spring!

If you didn’t get a chance to jump in on our Winter Webinar series, you’re in luck! Several of the webinars were recorded (without the live Q&A ) and are available for purchase in the new Resource Library on the website. Level Up Member? Check your account portal - you should have access to these for free as part of your Level Up membership!

Outside of the virtual world, Spring will allow for more in-person opportunities. In addition to the in-person classes with Animal Welfare Society of Howard County (below), check the calendar for:

• Drop In Enrichment Classes

• Fit Dog Walks

• Level Up Club and Hikes
  (available for drop in to Guild Hall members)

Like Magic is also partnering with
Animal Welfare Society of Howard County!

We’ve spent the winter getting the details hammered out, but we are set to start classes with Animal Welfare Society of Howard County in March! Animal Welfare Society of Howard County, is just getting on it’s independent feet after new ownership took over the dilapidated property a few years ago. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching puppy classes there in partnership with Canine Humane Network, but now that AWSHC has it’s own board of directors, I’m once again partnering with the rescue to provide training for their adoptees and classes on and off site. The classes you can expect to see include:

• Charisma Save: With a private property, I’m comfortable hosting group classes to introduce reactivity concepts lay the foundation for practice with reactive dogs in the real world. I expect Charisma Save classes to start up March 11!

• Charisma Check: My current reactivity class is available only to graduates of private sessions, board and train, and my online course - but also, Charisma Save graduates! This coaching class will take reactivity on the road, and with the partnership of AWSHC, I anticipate being able to take things out and about with more variety and locations! Charisma Check will be back on April 15.

• Worldbuilding: Puppy class is back and in full swing! This class for puppies 20 weeks and younger will focus on socialization and skill building, as well as pairing with the online class of the same name to introduce developmental topics for clients and their new additions. This class will be starting up the same week as Charisma Save on AWSHC property on March 13.

• Cheat Codes: While this class has run slightly differently over the past years, this iteration of the course will focus on adolescents and newly adopted dogs over 20 weeks old and will serve as the next step up, focusing on skill building and arousal regulation, starting on April 17.
