Although the class videos are outdated and some of the footage is degraded I did find some of the information useful, I wished the discussions was more active in the discussion board but I was able to answer two questions and it made for more enjoyable experience.
As for the training the topics are very detailed and information is solid, I wish there was more to date facts and more showing of steps and direct training.

I did learn a lot of track laying and cross track distractions that I had no learned before and I get to carry this with me as I start to train more dogs for search and rescue work.

The only main thing that I really disliked was the constant US police dont do this and they dont do that, when we have started to utilize these approaches and it is something that I am not offended by, just seemed to be pushed.

Ed is an amazing instructor that has a clear ways to get you to understand his idea and training practices. I learned a lot, will take some and use it in my daily training,
