Happy Valentines Day! Some of our classes posed for the occasion, and in our Fun & Games Class, Daisy won the kissing contest with 36 smooches to her dad in 30 seconds! 🤣

Tonight in fun & games class the dogs were tasked with getting balls from the baskets and returning to their seats and dropping them when requested by their owners. When his big mouth couldn’t fit easily, Howie said “Fluff that; I’ll just take the whole basket.” 🤣

His girlfriend Daisy (left) says “well played my spotted friend.”

Happy birthday to our dear trainer Veronica!

Hi all, I was hoping that temps would cooperate with us today, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. No classes tonight let’s keep our fingers crossed for next week.

Class Pupdate:
No classes tonight, Monday Jan 20. Windchill will be negative degrees. Stay home and snuggle the pups. Remember that next week is a scheduled week off so Veronica will see you all on February 3.

This guy on our cams says the side roads are bucked. No classes tonight. Stay home, snuggle your pups, give them a smooch for me and we will see you all next week. ❤️

Spikey here with a weather alert!
We are keeping a very close eye on the weather. The next week or so looks absolutely FRIGID.
Please check here and/or your emails for the status of class. I’ll send those out no later than 330 on class days.

As a reminder: we generally do not hold classes if the wind chill is in single digits or the roads are sketchy. I know your pups are pent up, but it doesn’t make sense to take them out unnecessarily, and you all know I’m a “better safe than sorry” kind of person.

If you are a private client with an appointment over the next couple weeks: please give me some grace with time. Traveling from Oakmont to Cranberry to Lawrenceville to Glenshaw is a heck of a day when the roads are fine, let alone when folks are driving more cautiously. I will do my best to communicate if I’ve hit traffic, but please plan for a bit of a buffer with start/end times.

And remember, if you’re looking for a snuggle buddy during these cold days, Spike is still available for adoption ❤️

01/14/2025

All classes for this evening are canceled due to the windchill being very low and the roads being kind of rough in some areas. I’ve been out all day doing consults and think a significant portion of you may have a difficult time getting to class tonight, so please stay home and stay warm and we will see you all next week.

Level 2 agility class fun and last week's Monday night graduates!

01/11/2025

Veronica still has room in her 5pm for adults and 8pm for puppies classes starting on Monday. These are level 1 classes and also serve as a nice refresher for dogs who’ve struggled through level 1 or missed some classes.

Happy New Year! Yesterday afternoon our last appointment of the year was with our pal Otis who had a new years date with Tuna.

Today, as per usual because it’s the first of the month, we will have classes opening at 5pm on the website.

Lots of classes for puppies, adults and moving up in the levels.

Also note some “refresher” classes to keep your dogs brain going and to hold you accountable as an owner!

Also offered will be a “New Year, New Dog” class to focus on one or two skills you’d like to work on. Again, to hold you, the owner, accountable and keeping up your training routine.

If you were in a class prior, check your emails then for those links to continue with your former classmates.

In the meantime, tell us what some of your goals are for this year with your dogs!

A reminder that tomorrow is our last Saturday before Santa comes! We will be open from 12-2pm.
Still lots of toys, treats and puzzles for your favorite pooch, the neighbors dog, puppy nieces and nephews, etc.
We will also have some snacks and treats for humans on hand as a pawliday pawty. Feel free to bring your pups down for some shenanigans to blow off some steam before your last minute shopping trips!
