I've posted this before but it warrants being shared again .....

Enough of you have contacted me about bailing on class tonight. Doesn't look bad but once temps drop back down I think it'll get slippy. Also they are calling for a couple hours of more snow this afternoon. So Stay home dry, safe and warm and we'll see ya all next week.

OK so it looks like we might be able to do a comp class starting Wed @ 3:15 for 4 weeks. I will add it to the website by tomorrow to sign up. Only 2 spots left.

Last chance for training classes this year! There are 2 spots remaining in the Basic Obedience Course starting this Wed.

Enough said! I won't walk my 2 well behaved Belgians because I can protect 1 better than 2

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Dog parks and doggie daycares cause so many issues including aggression towards other dogs and encourage dogs not to listen or focus on their owners at best - at worst they can be killed (happened locally a yr or 2 ago) or attacked and harmed physically and/or mentally - just not worth the risk especially with puppies!!!!!!! I get multiple calls weekly about dogs becoming reactive - I ask a couple of questions, listen to the answers - stop them and say this sounds like a doggie daycare/dog park issue and they are usually stunned when they put it all together since their dogs never had issues and now do. And yes they did start taking their dog to one or the other just before that behaviour started happening!

This goes for all sports!!

Our line up has changed for Wednesday classes with Laurie Soutar starting Sept 30th. We have 2 Basic Obed classes 4:30 - full 5:45 - full 7:00 - Basic Obedienc...e 2 (Intermediate/advanced) if you want in this class lmk asap Otherwise there is a wait list for Basic Obedience so if anyone wants a 7:00pm Basic lmk and we can offer that at 7 instead. Going forward Laurie offers everything from obedience, rally, clicker, tricks etc. Let me know what classes you would like to see added moving forward. See more
