4 Dog Classes to Start the New Year!

Posted on January 14, 2023 by kitkatdunn

Ahhh . . . a new year. A clean slate. A chance to start over and do everything right this time.

Perhaps your new challenge comes in the form of a new dog, either a new puppy or a newly adopted rescue dog. With your new pup, perhaps it’s time to begin training. Perhaps you didn’t get a new pup, but are wanting to build on the relationship with the dog you already have

We all strive to be good pet parents, but busy schedules and competing priorities often make it hard to find time for training, exercising and bonding. But this year will be different! Consider joining one of our classes to help you become the pet parent you always wanted to be!

4 Classes Beginning THIS Week! Puppy, Tricks, Family Dog Level 1, and Family Dog Level 2.

Canine Temperament Tests…

Posted on December 5, 2019 by kitkatdunn

Temperament tests and/or evaluations are just as important as studying overall breed temperaments to determine the suitability of a new pet, whether for show, competition sports or a family companion.

Did you know that a good reputable breeder will help the new puppies with early critical socialization skills and they won’t breed dogs with bad temperaments.

This is an interesting resource from AKC on various organizations and breed groups that offer temperament tests. AKC is now offering Temperament Testing as well.
