Proof of Distemper, Parvovirus, DHPP vaccinations will be required before attending your first session.
Fun Tricks
Our 6 session Tricks class is a fun course for students with some training already. It is a great way to continue learning, playing and enjoying being with your dog beyond a basic manners course.

Pet dog guardians gain confidence and have fun with their dogs while increasing the bond they share. The course is suitable for all ages and abilities and is both a great physical and mental workout for your pup. No aggressive, reactive, or overly fearful dogs. No females in heat.
