Does your dog think every walk is a race to the finish line? 🐕💨

STOP PULLING 1: Loose Leash Walking starts THIS Thursday, Oct 22 at 5:00 pm! Over 4 weeks we'll use engagement exercises, handling skills, structured walking and long-line work to teach your dog to walk with you — not drag you along. ($140)

Ready to go beyond the basics? AKC Canine Good Citizen / Therapy Dog 1 also starts Thursday at 5:00 pm — preparing you for the CGC test and the first step toward our Therapy Dog program. (6 weeks, $200)

Classes are small — grab your spot!
