Are you in AKC Masters or moving up to Masters soon? Then this course is for you. In this course, Judith will cover the skills, tools, and techniques that will allow you to confidently thrive and have a blast in Masters as opposed to the commonplace uncertainty and questioning feeling many competitors experience.

Judith will discuss the new challenges posed by the jump to Masters, the skills, tools and techniques to help you thrive and ways these apply all of this to the four elements (Interiors, Exteriors, Containers and Buried). You will learn how to bring these skills together, and how these will also apply toward your journey into Detective and beyond.

★★★★★
Of all the web courses I have taken I by far have received the most helpful info. Information was clear and I liked how each Element was covered. Thank you.

★★★★★
This class was so much more than I even hoped for. The lectures are well designed, the homework was fun and educational, and the feedback from Judith was amazing. Judith was detailed in her feedback. She provided validation when my thoughts were correct and she added additional areas for me to explore. At the conclusion of each feedback, she captured three main thoughts to guide me forward. I loved this class so much that I enrolled in the detective course with Baxter and the masters class with Skipper.
