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.
COURTEOUS CANINE CRASH COURSE
Can't fit a 6 week class into your schedule? This class covers the same material as The Basics in three 1.5 hour classes. Participants must be present all three weeks and dogs must be 1 year or older.
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 July 2.

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 9
years. We were the second facility to open in
Seattle. We have experience.
