NEW CLASS - CANINE CARE
Does your dog struggle with nail trims? Or ear drops? Or any other aspect of canine care or handling? This class is for you!

This six-week class meets for one hour on Thursdays starting June 17th at 6:30 PM. You will learn a set of tools you can use to help your dog feel more positive about being handled, even for things they now find unpleasant. The class is based on the principles of Training Between the Ears. There is a focus on relaxation and perception modification to help your dog see these tasks as good things. The class is limited to four teams so everyone gets a lot of time to work on the skills.

Stop fighting your dog to trim their nails, or give them eye meds! This class will get you and your dog on the track to stress free handling.

If you need more information, feel free to contact me at [email protected]

You can sign up using this link. The class is posted on June 17th.
