Air conditioned summer fun: join the tricks class!

All levels welcome, but dogs need to be non-reactive (non-aggressive or overly vocal near other dogs/people). I take 4 dogs per class and we learn a variety of fun and useful tricks. It's a relaxed atmosphere to bond with your pup out of the heat. The class meets once per week for 4 weeks for an hour.

There are 2 spots left for the Thursday afternoon June class (starts June 18th) and 3 spots left for the evening classes (6pm) starting in late July. See website for details and sign-ups.

Started his 13th year of life recently and really starting to see the aging effects physically and behaviorally :( his back legs keep weakening, he struggles to recognize familiar things and people. But he still loves to play with Rey and be our loyal shadow with Calvin 🫡 and hes still so handsome!

Tj will be teaching this class at the PUPS Studio! Register at pupsgainesville.com to grab a spot if your dog needs help at the Vet.

How do you set your dog up for success before a vet visit?
I put a lot of preparation into our own vet visits, because I want them to be as pleasant for my dogs as possible. And our veterinarians appreciate an easy fun exam as well.

If you think your dog’s vet visits could go better, or be less stressful, or just want to get a head start for your dog to learn cooperative and husbandry skills to make their life less stressful, join me for this 5 week class!

I will be teaching you systematic desensitization to touch, body handling, and stranger approach, with lots of advice on little details that can make a big difference for your dog’s comfort at the vet.

Where: Pups Gainesville, NW Gainesville
When: starting July 6th, 5 pm-6pm
How long: 5 weeks
Register: https://www.pupsgainesville.com/obedience-and-manners

Prerequisites: your dog has to be ok with other dogs’ presence in the classroom. If your dog is dog reactive, you can contact me for private lessons on how to prep for the vet.

See you there!
