Dog Skills For Kids Workshop

Saturday, August 17 at 2:30pm
Tuition: FREE

Do you have a dog lover at home between the ages of 8 and 12 years old who wants to help with the dog, but doesn’t always get it right? The Dog Skills for Kids workshop was made for them!

Parents must accompany kids and their dog to the workshop, but are encouraged to have a seat and hand over the leash for a while. During this one hour workshop we’ll help your young dog-lover:

  • Teach their dog some adorable tricks
  • Learn fun games to play with their dog
  • Understand basic dog body language so they can “communicate” with their friend better
  • Understand how to stay safe around strange dogs

 

Although this event is free, we still need a head count, so please click below to register!

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, September 7 at 2:00pm
Tuition $45

Do you have an enthusiastic, excitable young dog at home who thinks the best way to get what he wants – whether it’s food, attention, play time, etc. – is to just… TAKE IT?

If you’re having troubles with things like over-exuberant greetings, counter-surfing, darting through doors or gates, or inability to listen to you around other dogs or people, our Control Yourself! workshop might be just what you need!

This one-hour workshop focuses on teaching your pup how to volunteer calm, self-controlled behavior when he sees something he wants. It teaches YOU how to make sure you’re rewarding and building the kind of attentive habits you want in your dog.

Because no, you don’t have to just live with this! And also no, you don’t need to squash your dog’s joy and exuberance with punishment.

Our next Control Yourself! workshop is coming up on Saturday, September 7 at 2:00pm. Tuition is just $45.

Home Grooming for Fluffy Dogs Workshop

Saturday, September 7 at 5:00pm
Tuition: FREE

Do you have a long-haired or fluffy dog at home and don’t know where to start with their at-home grooming? Has your groomer asked you to do a better job between appointments, but you don’t feel confident with it? Doodles, Aussies, and fluff-monsters everywhere, our FREE Coat Maintenance For Fluffy Dogs workshop is for you!

Professional groomer Brandi Porche will show you the techniques you need to know and the tools you need to have to make at-home maintenance of your dog’s coat between professional groomings a breeze. You’ll bring your dog and troubleshoot any problem areas with a professional.
 
This workshop is FREE, but space is limited, so pre-registration is required – register below!
