Virginia is for (pet) lovers!

Our Virginia-based workshops take place at Hattingh Equine Rescue & Rehab in Purcellville, VA.

Hattingh Equine Rescue & Rehab is a non-profit organization that provides a soft landing and forever home for gentle giants who find themselves in an unsafe situation, through no fault of their own.  While we won't be working with the horses directly, the facility is a beautiful and peaceful site for our canine classes.

Nature lovers will find much to do here - Hattingh is located right next to the Appalachian Trail and 10-15 minutes from Charles Town, WV, and historic Harper's Ferry, WV.
