Understanding Your Reactive Dog Workshop

Saturday, April 6 at 5:30pm

Tuition: $75

Does your dog bark, lunge, and show his teeth at other dogs or people? It may feel like you’re alone in this, but you’re NOT – it’s an extremely common problem! And, despite how it feels, you likely did NOT cause it. Join us in this 2 hour, humans-only workshop for some quick relief from the stress by learning what makes your dog tick, and how to best manage this condition.

Control Yourself! Workshop

Saturday, May 3 at 2:00pm

Tuition: $50

Is your dog’s enthusiasm for life a bit – er – much sometimes? If your pooch’s lunging on leash, jumping up, grabbing things, and door dashing have become more of an embarrassment than comedic relief, this fun one hour workshop is for you! Guided by one of our expert, certified trainers, you’ll learn various training tools that will help your spirited friend learn to control himself, even when there are distractions, and ESPECIALLY when there’s something he wants, so that he can be a welcomed participant in all areas of your life.

Prerequisite: Puppy Kindergarten, Basic Manners, or equivalent level of training (just ask!) This workshop is not suitable for dogs who bark and lunge at humans or other dogs, or show aggression. Please have a look at our Reactive Rehab class or private training options for that.

Doggy School Photo Day

Saturday, June 14 from 4:00 to 8:00pm

Fee: $50

You asked, and we listened: choose between a patriotic Independence Day themed background with flashy props, or a classy neutral background (pictured). Get beautiful professional portraits of your dog(s) (and you, if you want!) that you’ll treasure forever, for only $50 per dog (or human). Don’t worry, ours are way better than that photo of you in 4th grade.

How it works:

1. You register below, and we arrange a time for you to arrive.

2. A professional trainer (Joanna) poses your dog(s) and gets them to “smile”

2. A professional photographer with a fast shutter finger gets those shots

3. You and your dog leave feeling great about their photo shoot

4. You get your photos emailed to you in a couple of weeks!

Massage For Dogs Workshop

Thursday, June 19 from 6:00 to 8:00pm

Tuition: $75

Does your dog deserve a little extra TLC? Whether they’re a high-energy athlete, a beloved senior, or your favorite couch potato, massage can be a wonderful way to enhance their well-being and
deepen your bond.

In this hands-on 2-hour workshop, animal physical therapist Beth Williams will teach you simple massage and stretching techniques that can help your dog relax, relieve tension, and even support recovery after activity. Handlers will need to be able to sit on the ground with larger dogs, or stand next to a table with smaller ones.

Home Grooming for Fluffy Dogs Workshop

Saturday, June 21 from 3:30pm to 5:30pm

Tuition: FREE

Calling all Doodles, Poodles, Aussies, Yorkies, and fluffy dogs everywhere – this one’s for you! Does your human hurt your skin when they brush you? Do they not do it at all, and then you get an embarrassing haircut at the groomer’s because it was matted?

Humans: Did you know that your fluffy dog MUST be properly brushed at home between grooming appointments in order to be healthy and comfortable? It’s not just for vanity – poorly groomed dogs are at risk for painful mats, as well as fungal and bacterial skin infections.

If your dog hates it, you don’t want to hurt them, you don’t know what tools to use, or you just don’t know where to start, let professional groomer Brandi Porsche of The Perfect Spot Grooming show you the way!
