Training the goats was such an eye opening experience, I've never learned so much from an animal as I did while I was at The Ranch.
This course has exceeded my expectations. Ken Ramirez's wealth of knowledge and ability to coach from both a professional and personal level; it was everything that the course advertised.
I truly enjoyed my time at The Ranch and felt so "at home." It was more of an "educational vacation" than just a class.
I came away with a much better foundation in animal training, which was exactly what I wanted. I also appreciated that the training was a reasonable length of time, hands-on, and in-person.
Training the goats was fantastic, and an excellent way to apply the concepts learned in the classroom. I also felt this was a good reminder that, regardless of species, behavior and learning are the same.
