AARF (Aggressive, Anxious, Reactive, Fearful Dogs) Support Group - People living with dogs that have behavior problems, such as aggression, anxiety, reactivity, and fear, can feel isolated, frustrated, and hopeless. The second Monday of each month at 7 PM is set aside for you. AARF is a safe place for you to connect with others who understand what you're going through with your dog. AARF is for people only. Make sure your dog has a safe spot with a delicious treat or stuffed Kong to work on while you join us for AARF. AARF is free and open to anyone living with an AARF dog. Registration is required.
NEW! Drop-In Manners - (dogs 6 mos. and older) Unable to commit to class for 5-weeks in a row? Does your schedule vary from week to week? Drop-In Manners is the solution! Drop-In classes are offered 3 times each week. You can choose which classes to attend based on your schedule and your dog's needs. All levels - beginner, intermediate, and advanced skills are taught in each class, allowing you to master skills that are most important to you.
How it works: You can purchase a single class or packages of 5, 10, or 15 classes. Once you've purchased your package, you can attend any Drop-In class. You may attend a single class or multiple classes to attend each week. As always, our group classes are limited to 6 dogs. Registration at least 24 hours prior to the class you'd like to attend is required. 5-class package/$180 10-class package/$344 15-class package/$480
