UPDATES and NEW STUFF IN TURQUOISE!
The Puppy Party day is changing to
Saturdays instead of Sundays for the summer! The puppy party previously
scheduled for Sunday, 6/3 at 2pm, is now Saturday 6/2 at 3:30pm instead for
pups 6 months, and under, (the young“softer” players)!
NEW!!! We have an “Older” puppy party
on Saturday, 6/2 for pups 6 months and over (the older “rougher” players) at
4:30pm!
Each
party will be 45 minutes and requires
and invitation, so email soon to receive one to k9frend@earthlink.net.
Play is completely supervised and inappropriate play will not be
tolerated!
NEW**** WE NOW HAVE STAFF HERE EVEN WHEN I AM NOT IN
TOWN! REMEMBER WE DO BOARDING FOR OUR STUDENTS and, NOW, pre-approved
referrals! If your dog has trained with us, and is dog and people/kid
friendly, we are happy to discuss boarding options with you. Evaluations
are always free! If your dog is not “dog, people, or kid friendly,” or just
needs some training, we are happy to discuss board and train options for your
dog while you are traveling! If you are boarding, remember to bring food for
your dog…bellies get upset when they change food AND have to adjust to a new
environment!
STILL ROOM!!!! This is an amazing dog sport that requires little or no obedience and no dog social skills, just a dog’s overwhelming desire to follow his/her NOSE!!! This is a great confidence builder for shy dogs and doesn’t require a lot of physical prowess so can be wonderful for older dogs too!
INTRO TO K9 NOSEWORK IS HAPPENING in Burbank for beginners ON JUNE 24th for 6 classes... BUT THEY ARE NOT CONSECUTIVE as previously stated…. the first 5 are consecutive and then we are off on 7/29 due to a Nosework trial, then back for class 6 on 8/5. I only have a few spaces left so please let me know if you will attend ASAP! All you need to do is fill out a registration and mail it in, or send in a PayPal registration. If you are already on the list for next available class, please send me an email and verify that you still want to attend. All dogs must be crated between turns at class, so you must bring a crate to participate. The dogs in this class do not socialize so it is not necessary to have a dog friendly dog, but the dog must be people friendly and in your control to and from the carJ UNLOAD YOUR CRATE AND EQUIPMENT FIRST AND AWAIT INSTRUCTION BEFORE UNLOADING YOUR DOG(S). MAKE SURE TO BE THERE A BIT EARLY FOR THE FIRST CLASS TO TURN IN PAPERWORK!
