☄️New classes start in the morning!

Classes you cannot find anywhere else.

I have designed and tweaked these classes over the past 30 year. They are short, to the point, and fun.

Don’t miss this chance to get started teaching your dog to be that well mannered bff (best furry friend) you dreamed of.

It’s that time of year!!

Yay!! Fall is here.

There’s a chill in the air.
I’m wearing my flannels - ( keeping the grunge dream alive ) and yes pumpkin spice everything. Whoo Hoo!!

The best part of Fall though - is Halloween 🎃.

Halloween is the best.

It’s socially acceptable to dress weird and you get free candy. 🍭

What’s not to love??

But the fun festivities for us on Halloween, can be all too real scares for your dog.

Please join me for a free webinar with some tips for a safe and fun Howl-a-ween.

I’m partnering with KONG and hosting a FREE live

When you’re trying to get your 23 hours of sleep and this entitled poodle crashes your bed and brings a friend. 🐨 🐾

When you close the bedroom door for just a few minutes and your confused and disgruntled dogs want to speak to the manager.

Are you tired?

Tired of the same old thing?

Tired of the same old classes & rigid training?

Want more??

Want more than just sit, stay, heel, blah blah blah?

Want to have some fun with your dog?

Want some real world manners - not just boring obedience commands?

If this is you. No worries. I got you.

Sure, those one off commands are cute and necessary. But that’s only a small part of the whole picture that is life with your dog.

I call it Holistic Dog Training. Because there is so much more to it than sit and stay. It is about the WHOLE dog. Not just a few obedience commands or cute tricks.

If you want more than just “normal” dog training you are in the right place.

I am not your normal dog trainer.
Normal is boring.

And I firmly believe if you and your dog are not having fun during training - you are doing it wrong.

Punishment has NO place in learning.

Dogs are absolutely magical creatures. I would never dream of inflicting any harm on any dog. Why would you???

Learning is much more effective with a smile on your face than a scowl.

I do classes you can’t find anywhere else.
STAR Puppy
Urban K9
PawCore
Just 4 Fun Agility
AKC Canine Good Citizen
Canine Explorer
Diamond Dogs

But which class? Don’t worry. I got you.

With my ZEN Dog program.
For as little as $99 a month you can take all my classes as much as you want. For a full year! Plus you get an online program with it that includes bonus trainings.

I just can’t make it any easier to fully enjoy your life with your dog.

We only have our dogs for such a painfully small amount of time. Don’t waste that precious time. Take advantage of every moment.

Not sure where to start? Let’s chat.

DM me and Schedule a free phone evaluation and we can talk about what’s best for you and your dog.

Now’s your chance for you and your dog to experience PawCore.

It’s great for socialization, enrichment, mental AND physical exercise AND don’t forget the importance of fun. This class has it all.

I only do this a few times a year so I hope you will take advantage.

What the heck is PAW CORE??????

My Paw Core class is my version of doggie parkour.

Dog parkour is basically urban agility.
It uses the environment, parking curbs, post, benches as obstacles.

It is a challenging, but fun, physical activity in which the dogs learn to interact with their environment.

Just like in human parkour, in dog parkour we work on ways to conquer obstacles, such as climbing, balancing, and jumping.

Paw Core Class

Starts
Sunday, August 11th
9:30 am - 10:30 am

4 week class

Enroll Here. —>. https://bit.ly/4d8G9Io

Just like the Urban K9 class - we will rotate location each week. This will give you and your dog the most variations and practice.

Think extreme walking.

Your walking your dog anyway - why not get the most out of it?

Do some extra training AND chip away at that endless doggie energy level.

Remember -

a tired dog = a happy owner

*** Modifications for ALL fitness levels

Don’t worry there will be modifications for all fitness levels.

Paw Core Class

Sunday, August 11th
