For dogs 8wks or older, who are comfortable in a kennel
This class is all about living with a “wild child” dog. From mouthy puppies, rowdy teenagers, and adults who never learned to settle, this class is geared towards our dogs who love to play and party and don’t know how to stop! In this class we will cover how to productively tire your dog out, how to teach them to settle (even when they aren’t tired), and how to regulate their emotions when it matters most. If you’ve ever felt like your dog is completely out of control, has no off button, or they have earned the nickname of Tasmanian Devil, this class might be for you!
(To participate in this class your dog MUST be comfortable spending time in a kennel).

This is the perfect opportunity to bring a book and do some reading, work on that crochet or knitting project you’ve been putting off, bring a pair of headphones can catch up on an episode of your favorite show, of if you’re into it, talk to the other people around you.
