@Matti Poland I've answered your queries regarding the courses and membership tiers - let me know if it makes sense as I don't mind going over it via Zoom. @Rachena Kumari wasn't sure if you were joining tonight to have a chat, but let me know if you still want to go over the accreditation options ☺️ Aside from this, I would like to say a massive thank you to you all for your lovely messages regarding the passing of my beloved, Nala - life is just not the same without her big fluffy presence and our hearts are aching, but I find peace in knowing that I made the right choice for her, and she was able to pass away with dignity ❤️‍🩹 We have quite a lot of events coming up in April - check out our calendar tab above to get them in your diaries! A combination of Q&A's and Webinars to look forward to. First up is the 'Dont Walk Your Dog Day' challenge this April 2nd - we invite you to join us in not walking our dogs, and instead, take part in other activities that our dogs may find fun! Join me from 7pm on April 2nd, to share what you got up to (link is in calendar and this is open to all members). Once again, just a reminder for those who transferred over from Thinkific, that your complimentary 2-month premium subscription will expire on April 1st - if you wish to remain an official HGA member, you must upgrade to our Premium Tier to continue getting access to our membership classroom. There's no obligation to remain a member, but if you choose not to reinstate, you must remove all HGA logos from your marketing and promotional material, and your listing from the HGA Directory. To find out more about our Premium tier ($9 per calendar month) click here. To find out more about our Behaviour Grooming Theory Only course click here

1. Can you apply for accreditation after you’ve already completed the theory only course? 2. For the theory only behavior course, do you have to keep your VIP membership active in order to have access to the course? If I switched to premium, would I lose access to the course I completed? 3. Do I unlock a course for the one-time flat fee and have permanent access or is it better to get VIP and get access to all the courses. And if I start them, do I continue to have access if switched to premium? Hopefully these questions make sense. I just want to make sure I don’t double purchase a course or lose access to it somehow. Thank you!

Dearest community, please forgive my 'MIA' the last couple of days. My most precious girl, Nala, has been in end of life care for the last year, and passed away yesterday afternoon in the safety of her home, in the arms of the person who loved her the most in the world. I'm trying to navigate the loss of the very best 'dog teacher', a behaviour student could ever have asked for - she taught me so much about boundaries, about deep-rooted behaviours, about dog-on-dog conflict, about food resource guarding, and so much more. But most importantly of all, she taught me that even a dog with significant behaviour and physical impairments, can be supported. Can be beautiful. Can be loving. Can be the best comfort in times of stress. I am utterly devastated. I am broken. So, I ask that you all please bare with me as I may be a little less active in this space over the next few days. If there's anything really important remember you can reach out to @Clare Hudson Hill or @Vanessa Barber - our HGA tutors. I intend to be back on track for our next Live check in on Monday.
