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).

Not sure if your dog is ready for group classes? Training out of the budget, but you still want your dog to learn some stuff? Just want more opportunities to get out of the house and spend time with other dog lovers?
This weekly get together will be where for 45mins we work solely on letting dogs learn and get used to being in a new environment and settling around other dogs and people.
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. If the dogs are relaxed enough, I may be able to answer some questions on dog training as well!
