“Walkin’ the
Dog” – a 3-session class to teach your dog
to walk nicely on a leash, without pulling or lunging,
despite distractions.
Starts: Wed. May 5, Fri. May 7, and Wed. May 19. Fee:
$60. Taught by Laura Van Dyne.
New Puppy and Dog Basic Obedience
courses, starting
May 25, taught by Sue Schmidt.
Puppy class is for pups 3 to
6 months of age. Proof of vaccination is required.
You’ll learn the clicker
method, which produces amazingly quick, joyful learning – the
right foundation for your lifetime relationship with
your dog.
Class meets Tuesday evenings
from 7 to 8 p.m., for 6 weeks. Call or stop
by High Tails to enroll – soon,
because attendance is limited! You and your puppy will
get lots of individual attention! To the first class,
bring your vaccination certificate, a plain, flat collar,
6 foot leash, and a supply of whatever is your puppy’s
absolute favorite treat! We suggest hot dogs, cut into
tiny (1/4 to 1/8 inch) cubes. Don’t feed the
puppy for at least 3 hours prior to class – you’ll
adjust the volume of his daily ration to allow for
the liberal use of treats. Give him a chance to potty
before
arriving. We’ll issue the clicker on the first
night. Fee: $75
