Training your dog yourself does not only provide mental exercise for your fur baby but also strengthens your bond. However, learning to train your dog on your own can be challenging. Thankfully, as the world transitions, there are many online training classes and platforms available for dog training as well. These platforms help a dog owner learn from professionals without having to travel long distances.

Today, there are online training sessions available for almost anything, such as IPO, Obedience, BAT, Rally, Engagement, Agility, and more. Not just this, dog owners can take these classes through websites from different countries too. With the world turning into a global village, these websites now allow you to choose your language of instruction as well.

RIDGEWOOD – Amidst driving rain, members of the Ridgewood Education Association (REA) held a rally outside the village’s education building Wednesday afternoon, hoping to encourage REA President Mike Yannone as he re-entered negotiations with the Ridgewood Board of Education (BOE) and a state-appointed fact-finder.

“This is unbelievable,” Yannone said as he watched the teachers marching around in the downpour. “I didn’t think anybody would be here.”

However, upon further reflection, Yannone noted that the “frustration level of the teachers of this town is really high,” and that a “little rain isn’t going to stop them from coming out.”

The members of the REA, marching around shouting “settle now,” say they feel they have not received a fair contract offer from the BOE, as the proposal does not address their concerns about healthcare contributions.

“We’re still dealing with the same proposal they gave us 11 months ago,” Yannone said, adding that in negotiations, “Two sides have to be willing to come in here and compromise.

“Both sides have to be willing to give to get,” he continued. “We’ve had that approach all the way through.”
