Enrollment is low at
Jesse Owens Mini Park, WEST VAN NUYS, starting 1/12/15 so we are postponing to
1/26/15! Also, start times were
incorrect for classes on the list, on our site!
The correct times are as follows:
Intermediate obedience is at 10:30
am (not 9am)
Beginning is at 9:15am (not 10:15)
Lifeskills is at 11:45am (not
11:30)
Currently I only have
a few students preregistered for Lifeskills and a few Freepeats for Intermediate
Obedience!
IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON ATTENDING ANY OF THESE CLASSES PLEASE
DO THE ONLINE REGISTRATION AND PAYPAL PAYMENT ASAP or REGISTER AND MAIL a check (go to
www.mybestfriendobedience.com). We are
postponing the start date to 1/26/15 since there aren’t enough advance
registrations!
I will be over at the park from 9:15 to 11:45 if anyone
wants to come up and visit and let me know they intend to come on the 26th
:-)
If we don’t have enough students by 1/25 the class will be
cancelled.

GIFT
CERTIFICATES ARE AVAILABLE
***FREEPEATS: Remember
that Beginner (and Intermediate prior to 1/1/15) level(s) are freepeat for
life! To maintain the privilege you must have 75% attendance, even If you
are repeating the course. However, if you do need to drop due to
unforeseen circumstances, AND YOU CALL OR EMAIL TO LET US KNOW, it is only half
price to rejoin! (See Know the Rules in the yellow folder, it is also
spelled out in the training contract and on our website). If you cannot
make a class you can always do a private make up for a fee, or join another
group running at the same time as yours for free, to get caught up!
WE ALSO DO PRIVATE
SESSIONS as low as $70, FOR PUPS AND ADULT DOGS with ALL TYPES OF PROBLEMS,
POTTY TRAINING and other Puppy issues, FEAR, AGGRESSION Problems, typical
OBEDIENCE issues, Separation Anxiety, Social Skills with people and dogs, off
leash training, etc. let one of our specialists help you! We do boarding
and training at Pampered Pet Hotel, and sometimes in home with one of our
trainers, using the latest positive reinforcement training methods available,
without needing to always have treats! Call us and discover the
possibilities!
2015 CHANGES are:
New four week puppy program instead of six! only 95...starts in February
Intermediate
class: Now offered at $135.00 instead
of $190!
That includes the cost
of CGC testing! Sadly, with the lower class fee we can no longer offer
Freepeat for life at this level. Beginning Freepeats will still be
offered and will not change. Arrangements can be made due to illness or
hardship, so that, with approval from My Best Friend Obedience, you may be
allowed to transfer to another class or rejoin another class. Otherwise
you can redo the class for half price if you need more practice at that level…
but you must let us know so we can accommodate you! We continue to strive
to bring you the best for you and your dog! Many of you wanted to spend
less, money for training so we listened! If there is enough demand we may
add an “Insurance” option for intermediate class, in addition to half price
offering! Anyone who already had Intermediate Freepeats and paid $190 is
“grandfathered” in will always keep them unless they don’t follow the “rules”
as outlined in our materials.
