Saturday March 17, 2012 at 11:00 am - Puppy Socialization Class

3 Saturday sessions (45 minutes) - March 17, March 31 and April 14th

This class is an opportunity for your puppy to participate in supervised play with other dogs and for you to learn how to read your dogs' body language. Each class will focus on a different training command. Socializing your dog early will help prevent anxiety and aggression down the road. The cost for this class is $60 but graduates from this class will receive a $20 discount on either a private lesson package or a day care package (5 days or greater). Dogs must be six months of age or younger. Registration is required.

Saturday March 17, 2012 at 12:30 - Basic Obedience Class Begins

4 Saturday classes (45 minutes) - March 17, 24, 31 and April 7

Come learn basic obedience commands in a small group setting. All dogs must be dog friendly and at least six months old. Registration is required.

Saturday April 7, 2012 at 11:00am - FREE Clicker Seminar

Come learn how to train your dog using a clicker. This 45 minute free seminar is FREE but space is limited, so please RSVP if you would like to attend. Jessie will demonstrate what can be accomplished with a clicker. This class is for pet parents only (please leave our furry friends at home). There will be plenty of time to ask questions and to take a clicker-trained dog for a "test drive"!
