🎃🍁🍂Establishment Dog Training, Ltd. Schedule Update October 1, 2020🎃🍁🍂
Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are all well and have weathered the past few months successfully. As you know, we were anticipating restarting classes in late October. We contacted the Wesley United Methodist Church and gave them our plan regarding sanitation procedures and COVID 19 protocols. Since the Church has been closed down for all activity since mid-March, we needed their approval to restart classes. We have not yet heard from the Pastor or Father Wayne regarding their decision.
After mulling the issue over for the past month, I have decided to postpone the reopening of classes until January of 2021. That would mean that we would have a full 8 week Winter and Spring session. The decision was made for several reasons, including the difficulty of working in masks, the difficulty of sanitizing every surface touched by the students and dogs and the problem of social distancing. Masks would make it hard to run agility safely and I know that social distancing would be next to impossible and also clumsy for everyone.
The good news seems to be that the virus is weakening and the infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths are down in all areas. Additionally, our knowledge of effective treatments has risen exponentially over the past few months. I think that we will be safe to reopen in January without the encumbrance of masks, gloves and social distancing, and we will be able to get back to a normal lifestyle 🤞. Hopefully we will even have an effective vaccine. I also have a hunch that the worst of COVID may magically disappear on November 4th!🤣
We opened up all in home training programs in early July, but gloves and mask are required by both the trainer and in-home students. This has gone smoothly for everyone which is a good sign that we may all be able to return to a fairly normal lifestyle soon, but I am hesitant to "jump the gun" and risk anyone's health.
I will be posting the schedules for the Winter and Spring 2021 on the website this week and will be accepting enrollments as soon as they are posted.
I miss all of you and all of my furry-face students. This has been a difficult year for everyone! I just thank God that we have not had any losses during this horrible pandemic. Despite the dramatic changes in our normal lives, we seem to have come through the worst of it and are on the final stretch. I suspect most of us will stay up until midnight on December 31st, not to see the New Year in, but rather to make sure that 2020 is OVER!!!
Stay safe and healthy. Can't wait to see you all in January!
👻Special Note to the Pi2 classes:👻
The pandemic has certainly prevented us from getting together with normal frequency. I have been wondering if, perhaps, we could arrange a "get-together" in October at an outdoor restaurant. If that works for you, please email me to let me know. Perhaps you have suggestions as to a suitable location
Warmest wishes,
