This particular CATCH program for Body Language & Behavior Problem Solving Skills was in person and an intense seven all day class that was taught at St. Huberts Animal Shelter. We worked with sheltered dogs with various temperaments and issues as unique as they were.
This certification was received by attending an intense three hour long class. Our instructor gave us detailed instructions on saving both dogs
