PUPPY SOCIALIZATION
Starting Feb 3 @ 6:15
If you have a new puppy, then you NEED this class!!!
Each year thousands of dogs are put down because they were not properly socialized as a puppy. When was the last time you have heard of a dog being put down because they could not sit or down? They are put down because they are not acceptable members of our society.
This class focuses on providing interesting and creative social situations and crate training for puppies five months of age and younger.

Time for Some "Spot" Polishing
If you and your dog have successfully completed Dogspaw's Basic Manners (or a comparable class), sign up for our NEW Polishing Class for some "spit and polish" on those basic commands you and your dog already know. Through this class, you and your dog will participate in activites and games designed to improve sit, down, stay, and go to your mat...just for starters. We will aim towards working off leash with control and focus on the handler, while having a bit of fun along the way.
Upon completion of the six week class, dog owners who have an interest in getting involved in therapy work may also choose to have their dog evaluated to earn the Good Canine Neighbour Certificate.
Next Class is starting Feb 25th
Growly Dog Class
Do you dread meeting other dogs while out walking your own dog, due to your pet's behaviour? Does your dog bark. lunge, and make a fuss when it sees strangers or other dogs? Join us for our Growly Dog Class! Don't let the title mislead you - this class is for reactive dogs in general. With the guidanceof an experienced instructor team, you will receive suggestions to help you and your dog cope with the outside world. This class will be limited to 4-5 dogs, with special attention given to those difficult moments when you need your dog to focus on you; not the object of his agitation. We shall work on basics, such as sit, down, and stay commands, and add in some extra tips for building and enjoyable, trusting relationship with your dog.
Dogs need to go through a behaviour modification or consulation before registering in this class.
