Starting: Monday, March 17, 2025, 6:30 - 7:30PM.
This 3 week class is for folks who want to practice being able to take
their dogs out to restaurant patios and wineries, festivals and picnics.
In this class we practice all the Foundations skills...loose leash walking,
sit, wait, stay, relax, leave it. But we do it in the context of an actual social event.
That’s right....in this class, you’re going to come ready to eat!
We’ll have tables and chairs set up, and a serving table/bar for you
to you get your food and drinks from. We’ll alternate that with having
wait staff to take your order.
*This class is not suitable for reactive dogs. Dogs must have taken
Foundations or a comparable basic manners class.
