This is going to be a bit of a long one, so please bear with me.
As some of you are aware, I (Christina) have been dealing with significant health concerns over the past months; concerns which I had hoped to have had resolved by now. Unfortunately, the opposite is true and my health has worsened considerably since the issues began, severely affecting my ability to be present in various aspects of the business, among other things.
So. Here we are.
**********
As a direct result of my declining health, ALIGN CANINE TRAINING INC WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERING GROUP CLASSES AFTER OCTOBER 31, 2024.
*
PLEASE NOTE - If you are currently enrolled in a class, there will NOT be a disruption to your schedule, and your classes will proceed as intended.
**********
Moving forward, we will not be posting any additional classes, as we cannot guarantee that the facility will be able to remain open, or at least, not as a part of Align Canine Training.
We are currently working on a potential partnership that may allow the facility to continue running under the management of a fantastic fellow training company, but we do not have any concrete information to share at this time (trust me, you'll know when we do).
In the meantime, I will be directing my energy to my Behaviour Modification clients, as well as to any Private Lesson clients that I have the energy and availability to assist.
The online booking platform will continue to reflect my current availability, and that of the other Trainers at Align, but I humbly ask for your patience in regard to how quickly we are able to respond to emails and messages, as I am severely limited in what I can accomplish on a day to day basis.

If you've read this far, you've made it to the sappy part. Don't say I didn't warn you.
As I believe I've mentioned before, opening Align Canine's private indoor facility marked the realization of a dream that I had never thought I would be able to achieve. I completely and wholeheartedly love what I do, which means that Align wasn't (and could never be) just a "business" to me... and every bit of our success is thanks to all of you.
We... I... could not have done any of it without you.
The first two years after opening the doors were truly unbelievable, and so many of you have continued to be incredibly wonderful and supportive over the last ~10 months as I tried everything I could think of to find a way back to good health. I don't think I'll ever be able to sufficiently put into words how grateful that has made me.
So, again, inadequately, thank you. Thank you so much, from the very bottom of my heart.
Thank you for your referrals, your reviews, your participation, your support, your laughter, your tolerance for my awful jokes, your time, your commitment, and for a dream come true.
Most importantly, though, thank you for your trust. It truly has meant the world to me.
I continue to look forward to helping my Behaviour Modification and Private Lesson clients, and I hope you stay tuned for updates regarding the indoor facility!
Thank you again, a million times over.
