The perfect combination of training and play time!

We’ll teach you how to read your dog’s body language in real time, so you’ll understand when a dog wants more interaction, and when he’s saying “No, thank you!” Knowing those signals gives you the ability to interrupt bad play, and encourage good, healthy interactions.

Registration is required, and groups will be formed based on dog sizes and play styles to ensure the best social climate for the dogs!

Once you sign up, you’ll be emailed your start time. Each class will be one hour, and occur sometime between 6-9 PM.

Please put “Dog Park Class” in the subject line.

Prerequisites: Social dogs, who have trained a basic “Here” and “Place” command (can be beginner level).

We adore our older dogs, and know that they have special needs both physically and mentally in their senior years.  Mental cognition, physical strength, and coordination are just some of the challenges they face as they age, and we have lots of tools and tips to share with you.  

In addition to answering all of your questions, we’ll also teach exercises that focus on building strength, movement, and stretching as well as games and tricks to tune up their obedience skills.  We’re excited to see all our “old timers”coming out of retirement to join us for this fun and social event!

For humans to effectively communicate, we’ve devised an immense vocabulary, but dogs are limited to ‘words’ formed by their body parts. Because of this, the dog must re use “words” and depend on context and combination to form his “sentence”.

Understanding what your dog is saying is extremely important to prevent bites, fights, and miscommunications between dogs and humans, and dogs and dogs.

Having multiple dogs means more fun.  More love.  And more challenges.

We know, because we’ve owned multiple dogs for over 3 decades!

This class was created for you to bring your two (or three!) dogs, and learn our favorite training games to create and maintain social tolerance and control. There’ll be plenty of time for questions, identifying red flag behaviors, and guidance on management techniques that will help you now! Join us for this fun, informative, and very *important* class.
