These courses are taught by Myra Fourwinds. Myra has trained dogs professionally for 30 years, and has been involved in obedience, protection, agility, herding, search-and-rescue, drug detection, therapy and service dog training. Her personal experience with disability led her deeply into the training of service dogs, and in 1987 she graduated from Dr. Bonnie Bergin's Assistant Dog Institute Instructor Course. Myra prefers to teach handlers to train their own service dogs.
