I can't disagree more with above two comments. Brand new to riding; felt listened to, comfortable, safe, and passed my test with no issue. I felt confident after the four days and felt comraderie with the four others in my class. Re: house. Dogs outside. And guests were previous students dropping by to watch and practice after class while we practiced our manoeuvres. All previous students invited back anytime. There was definitely a friendly vibe between everyone. No complaints.
