IF YOU HAVE COMPLETED INTERMEDIATE LEVEL TRAINING!!!
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:
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, in advance, due to
illness or hardship, and with prior approval from My Best Friend Obedience, you
may be allowed to transfer to, or join, a different class. Otherwise you
can redo a class for half price if you need more practice at that level… (Not
applicable to Growly, Rally, Focus, High Energy or Advanced .. or any other
continuation classes). You must let us know so we can try to 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 which would function similar to Freepeats, 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.
PUPPY CLASS: starting February 1 changing from a 6 week course at $120 to a 4 week course at $95! Any PUPPY HEADSTART classes starting after 2/1/15
will be 4 week!
Kennel cough
seems to be going around right now!
Please be aware that it can sound like your dog is gagging and choking
on something but really it is a “cough”.
Sometimes they throw up bile (yellowish foamy liquid). Please call your vet for an appointment if
your dog has any of these symptoms. More
information has been posted on our Facebook page below :-)

yours... all the best,
