Mother Nature, you have me so confused. Is it May in Texas? By the mosquito count, I would say yes. If you ask the rain clouds, they would say they have no idea.

Even with the funky weather, here are the offerings for the next four weeks:

New and Notes

I will have some new and fun classes starting in September. So watch your in box. I will be offering the newest of the AKC titles – Urban CGC, this is really exciting and I will combine it with my continuing manners classes. I will also be offering the AKC Community Canine class. More single night workshops and more. If you have a request for a type of workshop or class you’d like me to offer, drop me an email with your suggestions.

Some exciting news. I have been in talks  with a vet clinic to be able to provide a puppy socialization class for pups 7 to 12 weeks of age. This is such an important time period in a new puppies life and what many puppies miss out on after being adopted at 6 or  8 weeks. I am hoping to have something finalized by the end of the year. If you are thinking about getting a new puppy or know someone who is, please keep me in mind for socialization classes.

I hope everyone has a fun summer. Please be sure to keep your dogs on heartworm preventive. The mosquito’s are horrible this year and puts your dogs at even a higher risk of contracting heartworms.

Happy Training!!
