After you have completed Class 1 it is time to truly get into the hard work and begin your training free flight journey. In this class we discuss how to properly teach recall, the importance of motivation, the importance of managing our birds emotions, understanding our birds body language and identification.
Once you have completed Class 2 it is time to get onto Class 3. This is where we begin venturing into the great outdoors and making our birds comfortable with simply existing outside. To book this simply go to the "book your next session" tab. Remember to stick with the mentor you have chosen for Class 1 and 2!
