Kids & Dogs Class
The Dog Den

This class is for children of Elementary & Middle School age. Your child will learn how to train your family dog (dogs of all ages encouraged to come!) in a positive, fun way! We learn basic commands and tricks in a kid-friendly environment. We also talk about basic dog responsibilities, care and appropriate etiquette between kids and dogs. Parents are required to stay for the class, and other family members are encouraged to come too!
This is a wonderful class to teach your child about your dog, and a great bonding time for the whole family!  Class runs for 4-weeks and costs $60.00.
