First and foremost, I HATE being this person. However, after several recent events I have to be this person.

Effective 8/31/26
Applicable for Dogs in Class and Dogs here for Grooming
Any Dog who marks on equipment will be charged a $5 fee
**PER INCIDENT**

There will be Jar on the desk for you to deposit your fee OR you can send a Venmo, I sincerely hope I do not get fees from anyone and I hate being this person but this is where we are.

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure you dog does not damage equipment, if you have a dog that needs further training in this area I suggest purchasing a belly band or diaper in the meantime.

*Note that sniffing for “working” as in Scentwork exercises and sniffing for marking are different behaviors and can be identified differently. As the owner you will need to learn to identify these.

*THIS IS NOT APPLICABLE TO PUPPY CLASS. Potty accidents are significantly different than marking and we realize the puppies are learning potty training.

Equipment examples but not limited to: Cones, Wagons, Tunnels, Inside Walls, Barrier Walls, toys, Klimb, Cato Boards, Scentwork boxes, sheds, front door, garage door, chairs etc.

Fantastic article on puppy socialization vs. Veterinary vaccine protocol. The number one cause of death in dogs under 3 is NOT infectious diseases, its euthanasia at shelters. Properly socialized and raised puppies typically dont end up at shelters exhibiting behavior problems.

I get asked a lot "shouldn't my dog heel on walks?" In my opinion I dont think so. The walk is for your dog as well. I want ny dog sniffing and exploring, that will provide more mental enrichment than walking in a heel. Also, if your dog is a big leash puller sometimes the answer is add more leash. I walk my dogs on 10ft leashes so they can sniff and explore! Listen to my chat about this topic while I walk 2 dogs and hold my phone 🤣
