Free Free Free Free Free Training Seminar - Saturday, 1 Aug
Did you get a new puppy?
Does your dog do something that drives you crazy?
Are you unsure of what to do next?
Come to our free introductory training seminar on Saturday morning, August 1st, 10:30am – 12:30pm. Learn about dog behavior and training. Bring your questions, as all will be answered. There will be live demonstrations to ensure understanding.
We love all of your canine partners, but this seminar is for human handlers only, unless you are specifically asked to bring your dog. Please RSVP to Mary at m.janek@aol.com to secure a spot.
This seminar is taught by Mary Janek and Bobbi Siccardi who have each trained almost every breed of dog you can imagine. They have also put countless titles on their own dogs in Obedience, Rally, Agility, Herding, Tracking, French Ring, Lure Coursing, Canine Freestyle, and Tricks.
After attending the seminar, you will receive a discount if you register and pay for one of our STAR Puppy or Basic Obedience Classes.
