Canine Education Class
Come join us for a free informative hour on dogs! Our goal is to help our local community learn as much as they can before acquiring a puppy so we can help you avoid dangerous and/or unhealthy behaviors as they age. Never owned a dog and need somewhere to start? Had dogs growing up but now it is time for your first adult dog? First family dog? No matter the situation, this is a fun informative class where subject matter varies based on attendance.
