Having a strong “Leave-it” can save you and your angel the heartbreak of an emergency vet visit.

Please join Emily for our Life Skills Class, Leave it and Get it.

This 3 week class is focused on strengthening your dog’s Leave It skills and rewarding them with a good Get It.

Class starts on Tuesday, June 2nd at 6:15p

Take this opportunity to sneak into Francie's most excellent class.

Our next session of Rally 101: Introduction to Rally Obedience begins next week, on Wednesday, May 20th, at 5pm.

This is a great opportunity to strengthen the Teamwork between you and your dog while learning a new sport.

Even if you’ve been playing the Rally game for some time, consider taking the 101 class with a beginner’s mind. You might be surprised what you learn about yourself and your dog.

Francie’s depth of experience will help you with the how… and her skill at seeing opportunities for improvement will help you with the what.

We can help you clarify what's been missing.
