DOG WALKING
Our dog walking programs includes regular 30 or 45 minute dog walks, specialized programs such as our Puppy Program for pups 7-20 weeks old and Social Canine for reactive dogs or young dogs needing intensified socialization as well as our new One-On-One Leash Walking Lessons done with a trainer at your home (or wherever you normally walk your dog)!
All of our dog walking programs, like our day care, emphasize training and good manners. For info on our dog walking programs:

PUPPY POUNCE
Please don’t wait 6 months to start
training! This class
for pups 8-16 weeks focuses on imperative skills for your pup to prevent
potentially dangerous problems later. We cover, among other things (!),
socialization techniques and bite inhibition. Do you have health concerns
about having your young pup around others? Please READ

THE BASICS
Just what it
sounds like – learn all The Basics! The core course for dogs 6 months and
up. Use reward-based positive reinforcement methods to get your dog to do
what you want, and love it! See the full description of this class on our training page.
ALSO, NOW OFFERED IN GEORGETOWN at TAILS OF THE CITY!!
See schedule for details.
DIFFICULT DOG: 4-week class aimed at dogs with reactive or aggressive tendencies towards other dogs. We will work on teaching the dogs to relax in the presence of other dogs and, most importantly, to have your dog look to YOU for cues on how they should react when other dogs are present. Next class starts 1/9/2010
.
TRICKS!!: 4-week class for graduates of THE BASICS
This is a fun, relaxed class where you will learn basic tricks such as bow, spin, crawl, roll over, grab it (among others!). We will also give you the skills to continue with more complicated feats.
PRIVATE TRAINING

group class into your schedule? Need help on a specific problem? Private
lessons available on-site or in your home.

SEMINARS
BARKS & BABES: 1.5 hr seminar for humans only.
Remember when your dog was your only baby? Times have changed! Whether you are planning, expecting or already in the throes of parenthood, this class is for you! Barks & Babes covers topics involved in the management of living with baby and dog and keeping all healthy and happy. Among other things, we will discuss safety (for both dog and baby), disease/parasites, desensitizing dog to baby sounds/movements, and how to walk and exercise your dog with baby in tow. NEXT SEMINAR: FEB. 21, 2010

DAY CARE
What’s
so special about us and how do we differ from all the other dog day care
facilities?
We differ from
many dog day care centers in three ways:
1. We are dedicated to remaining small (only 15
dogs allowed per day) to prevent potential problems related to too many
dogs in one space, and so that all dogs are guaranteed individual attention.
We usually have a wait list for day care, but we are worth the wait! Also,
we can often get you in on our “floating” space before a regular space
opens up. Our dog walking program is also available for those waiting for day care.
2. We maintain a strong focus on positive education, behavior and
training. We are
a training and behavior center with all staff members having extensive knowledge
in canine behavior. Thus, we are able to avoid any problematic behaviors
that could occur by recognizing them and stopping them before they
escalate.

staff!
3. We’re pioneers! We have been in this business for 10
years. We were the second facility to open in
Seattle. We have experience.
