Playful Pup Class Schedule
July -August 2026

We’re continuing the drop-in class format for the rest of the summer. Register for a class and pay $25 for each class you attend. I’d like you to come most of the time, but it’s okay if you miss a week from time to time.
You can start a class at any time, but they may fill quickly.

Come, and Walk with Me NEW CLASS Saturdays at 10:00 Starting July 11th

You’ll learn a practical set of tools for improving recall (come) and leash skills.
You and your dog will practice those tools identifying which work best for you.
Most of the tools are games and relationship based.
Everyone needs to attend the first class (July 11th) which is for humans only. After that, we’ll use the drop-in format.
You’ll need to do homework to be successful. 😊

Polite Manners Wednesdays at 1:00

Designed for older puppies and adolescents, but good for all ages.
Sit, down, stay, leave it, come, leash skills, polite greetings.
There will be a variety of levels in the class so dogs will work at their own pace.
Many people take this class more than once. It’s an opportunity to perfect skills learned the first time around.
You’ll need to do homework to be successful. 😊
