Events for November 18, 2023

Does your dog jump on people when they come to your house? Do they drag you to meet new people or furry friends on walks? This class is for those overly-friendly dogs that need to learn to control themselves when saying hello! We will practice having your dog sit nicely to be petted and learn to be more calm while meeting strangers and/or their dogs. Note: this class does not focus on dog-to-dog interactions, but questions about this will be answered.  Minimum age requirement of 4 months AND must meet full vaccination & fecal requirements Class limit: 8 dog

If you have a new puppy between 10 weeks and 6 months old, these drop-in socialization sessions are for you! During this free, 45-minute playtime, your puppy will be supervised by a DePAW trainer while interacting with other puppies. These are drop-off play sessions, in order to see how your puppy acts without you around. It will also help your pup build confidence and become comfortable at DePAW before participating in daycare, training, or overnight lodging.  Class minimum: 2 puppies; maximum: 6 puppies

If your dog struggles to be quiet and calm in a crate either at home or at DePAW during daycare or lodging, this class is for you. The trainer will teach you skills and suggest tools specific to your dog in order to help him or her relax in a crate both alone and with distractions present. We will practice crate manners in our training room, but you will learn how to practice at home, as well. Minimum age requirement of 4 months AND must meet full vaccination & fecal requirements Class limit: 6 dogs Please bring high value treats for this class, and have your dog on a 6-foot leash.
