Dealing With Dogs offers more than obedience training! We have added Hoopers to our Dog Sport program as well as a new Dog Sport Foundations class for anyone interested in Agility, Hoopers or advanced obedience. These programs have been developed with the help of Jael Berlingeri who has joined our team, bringing years of experience.

From Jael - "I have been involved with dogs my whole life but training dogs for over 25 years and teaching for over 20 years. I love watching the relationship between dog and handler blossom as they learn to understand each other."

For 40 years Dealing With Dogs has been helping people and their dogs build a lasting relationship through communication and understanding.

Thank you to everyone who has supported DWD over the years.

At DWD we pride ourselves on having amazing instructors who truly enjoy teaching dogs and their people. Meet Andrew, one of our experienced instructors.

"I started brought my first dog, Jake, to Dealing with Dogs in 1991, and just never left, staying on as a demonstration handler, then assistant and then instructor. Right away I loved the magical feeling of being able to communicate with an animal, and the satisfaction of seeing people become better friends with their dogs as they discover that feeling is what keeps me training in classes and with private clients. Recently I've tried to spread that feeling further by publishing my training book, Best Friends: How to Make it Easy to Love Living With Your Pet Dog."

Meet DWD Agility Head Coach Suzanne...
"Dog Agility is my passion and I thoroughly enjoy sharing my knowledge with new teams to the sport. Dealing with Dogs is where I started my Agility Journey over 14 years ago and I had a wonderful competitive ride with my heart dog, Charlie Brown".

Happy Halloween!

Here are some tips to keep your dog safe tonight:
- Make sure your dog has enough exercise ahead of the evening.
- Keep them on a leash, even in the house. If your pup is nervous or excited use your crate to keep them safe and calm.
- Do not feed them any candy!
- Help your dog adjust to the constant door knocking by doing training exercises.
- Give your pup a stuffed Kong to keep them busy and help create a positive association with all the commotion of the night.

Tug is a great game to tire your dog or puppy.

Here's how:
• First teach your dog to "Drop It" by trading the tug toy for a treat.
• Now engage in a game of Tug and Drop It.
Make sure to let them win sometimes to make it more fun for your dog.
