My Dog

Picture
A special class offered monthly that is FREE to everyone!  Whether you are having problems with a new dog settling in, or an ongoing issue with a dog you've had a while - come on in and get some advice from our trainers. 

For many dogs, your home is nothing more than another different, new, unfamiliar place; they don't know it's forever. Let us help you make this transition easier on everyone. 
Classes are held:
  • the first Friday evening of every month* (7-8pm) 
    *there may be exceptions, so please check the calendar before coming to class.
