Video Lessons:

Bridget is offering video lessons for individuals who are not able to attend private lessons in person. The video lessons will target one specific training problem per lesson (eg.lagging on the figure 8, crooked fronts, cutting the corner on the broad jump, sniffing on sits/downs). You will receive a response with a training plan addressing your problem. Some complicated or long-standing problems may require more than one lesson to repair.

Download and save the Video Lesson Questionnaire to your hard-drive.
Complete the questionnaire.
Email the completed questionnaire to Bridget requesting a video lesson.
Bridget will respond to you confirming that she can help you with your problem. (Some problems may be outside the scope of what can be accomplished with remote lessons.)
After receiving a response from Bridget, either email her a Flip Video OR "snail mail" her a CD or DVD with footage of your dog working that shows the problem you want to address. Send to Bridget Carlsen, K-9 Cuts, 308 East South Street Plano, IL 60545-1665. If Bridget has already seen you work your dog at a recent seminar, she may not need a video.
Click on the PayPal link below to pay for your lesson. Each video lesson is $35 (USD). You can pay using PayPal funds or any MasterCard, Visa, AmEx or Discover Card. (You do not need a PayPal account to use this service.)
When Bridget receives notice of payment, you will receive a written explanation and a video showing a training plan (or the first step of a training plan) for your dog. (This requires that the student have a high speed internet connection.) If you have a dial-up internet connection, you will receive the written explanation and some still photos (when applicable).

Video Lesson Payment:

After receiving a confirmation email from Bridget, use this link to pay. Fill in your name and your dog's name. The link will take you to a page which will allow you to send a payment of $35 (USD) to Bridget.
