Happy New Year Everyone!


DON’T FORGET TO REGISTER FOR CLASS ON THE WEBSITE AT WWW.MYBESTFRIENDOBEDIENCE.COM.


Everyone must have had a fun winter break because class enrollment is down a bit!  I also spent too much this holiday (and ate too much) and am looking forward to seeing all of you for 2012;).  With the MLK holiday on Monday 1/16, I think a few students were having trouble committing to the current schedule so we made a few adjustments!


A few updates on classes to share… all classes starting in the next few weeks have space available:


Northridge park beginning and intermediate obedience course:  Our class scheduled to begin tomorrow, Wednesday night  1/11 is postponed, beginning level at 7:30pm will be happening on 1/25 instead.  Currently we have no one enrolled in intermediate level at 6:20pm so if you don’t want to wait until 3/21 ENROLL NOWJ.


Balboa Park Focus on agility (intermediate level obedience course):   which was scheduled to start at Balboa park at 7:15pm on Thursday, 1/12, has been cancelled and will resume February 6th, Monday night instead!


Tarzana Park Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced obedience:  We have small groups for our January 14th Tarzana beginning and advanced levels.  We will hold this class as scheduled but it will be an introductory class…   we will do an official start on 1/21/12 for all three levels, beginning 9:45am , intermediate 8:30am and advanced at 11am!  This should help those with plans for the long weekend!


West Van Nuys Beginning class (by White Oak and Sherman way…formerly at TAMS pet food class) will be postponed until 1/30 at 10 am instead of starting Monday 1/16 on MLK day!


Burbank, Colorwest Printing:  Jody and Bobby are holding graduation for their last intermediate course, which got rained out numerous times, on Sunday 1/15!  Sunday 1/22 will be held as scheduled in Burbank, and has a small group for rally at noon and for beginning at 9 am!  Currently, and no one preregistered for intermediate class at 10:30 am  …let us know if you will be joining us so this group doesn’t get postponed until March 25th!


For those intermediate or advanced students needing a test for AKC CGC OR STAR PUPPY, MARK YOUR CALENDAR…we are testing on Sunday, 3/4/12 at Tarzana park from 9-11am.  Remember, I can only do S.T.A.R. puppy testing for students who have taken our classes for 6 weeks!


INTRO TO NOSEWORK ON TUESDAY NIGHTS IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE IN WEST VAN NUYS…CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR UPDATES!
