Our Apr section of Passing Dogs on Leash is full, Our Apr section of Passing Dogs on Leash is full, but we’ve just scheduled a section starting Tues, May 18! This is an online class, so you can join us from anywhere!

This is a great class for Puppy Kindergarten grads and pups who display behaviors we might label as exuberant and excited when they see other dogs on leash. Build leash and attention skills, brush up on dog body language, and learn techniques for successfully navigating around other dogs.
