Molly's AdobeDogs
Enjoy Training Your Great Community Dog!
Family dogs, in our community, have a lot of requirements -- to be good in the house, play nicely with kids, play well with dogs, not bark too much, walk nicely on a leash--just to name a few! Most of these qualities are really learned skills.
AdobeDogs teaches you to use positive training (and food) to help your dog learn basic manners as well as cues, make great decisions, and be calm in many situations. The result is a trusting, happy, well-behaved canine companion.
Molly's AdobeDogs will help you enjoy training your great community dog!
This class is for everyone!!!!!!
The Accidental Dog Trainer
Saturday, 6/25, at 10:00 am
Do you wonder how your dog learned something? Do you feel like your dog doesn't understand you sometimes? Julie Bond will discuss how we train our dogs—both intentionally and accidentally. (And, how they train us.)
Join us for this special 55-minute seminar where you will learn how you can change your behavior and change your dog's behavior as well.
This class is for people only and meets only one time. Julie is a certified animal behaviorist and a very entertaining speaker.
