The first two years were a great success, then in 2020 the Covid-19 Pandemic hit and the Ranch closed temporarily. We reopened to half cappacity in 2021 and moved to full capacity in 2022. In 2023 and 2024 the facilities were refurbished with many new upgrades. For more information visit the Karen Pryor Clicker Training website: The Ranch .
