2024 - Celebrating 43 years!
Semi-retirement has arrived... The 2024 fall sessions will be my last through BCE. All good! I appreciate the trainers that have trusted me with their pet's training. This fall marks eleven years with BCE and I will enjoy the memories!
Offerings for 2025 are unknown at this time except for the following... Specials for Results - Pawformance Alumni teams that have completed my O&M Two will be available on a limited basis. If you and your pet are alums, feel free to inquire via email or call me. Please note your pet's name and last class completed if it has been awhile, thank you.
It will take a little time to update my web site. If you see a reference to Brighton Community Ed other than Fall 2024, please disregard same. Thanks for your patience, I have a lot of content here.
And to those that have taken time to send kind words and pictures upon hearing of my upcoming changes, thank you for reaching out. As you know, this is bittersweet.
Enjoy autumn, it may not be here for long! Mary T.
