Training: Teaching the Treadmill

Do you want to give your dog the exercise that’s so important for them without having to head out in bad weather? This class is designed to help you introduce your dog to walking/running on a treadmill. Not only is it great exercise during winter months, but running on a treadmill is mentally taxing for dogs too, since they have to use brain power to help keep their legs moving properly and stay on pace with the belt.
Minimum age requirement of 4 months AND must meet vaccination & fecal requirements

Class limited to 6 dogs

Join us for a holiday-themed Pack Walk!
These one-hour group walks are a unique experience utilizing our surrounding real-life environments as our training playground! Specifically, they are in-town or park pack walks where a group of dogs, along with their people, go for a working walk together in a structured environment, led by DePAW trainers. These walks can safely and effectively provide your dog with exercise, training, impulse control, and socialization, which makes this a great outlet for ANY dog! While the dogs are walking and exploring, they are also learning to practice self-control, develop social intelligence, and listen to their people in a world with a variety of distractions. It is working and training, but mostly it’s FUN!!
