Dog Tricks w/a Purpose
August 7 at 5:30 pm
Dogs love learning new things! People love teaching and showing off their dog’s tricks! In this class, every “trick” has a useful purpose. In our four-week introductory class, students will learn a variety of training techniques to discover what works best for them and their dogs while teaching tricks at home as well as out and about. This 4-week series (5:30 p.m.) of classes are free and will be taught by our very own Kathy Weaver! The first class will be (people only, no dogs) a discussion and demonstrations of training techniques. In this session, the class will decide which tricks they’ll want to introduce to their dogs in the following three weeks. Kathy has taught dog training classes and competed in dog sports for over 50 years. Her classes have included pet manners, competition obedience, tricks, musical freestyle, and more. Class will be extremely limited so sign up early! Please sign up in advance
