Molly's AdobeDogs Dog Training in Los Altos

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 isn't tied to a one-size-fits-all curriculum. We choose from a variety of positive methods to help your dog learn to make great decisions, be calm, and be a trusting, happy, well-behaved canine companion.

Molly's AdobeDogs will help you enjoy training your great community dog!

Saturday Classes with Julie Bond

MEDIUM TO LARGE DOGS PLAY SEMINAR

Saturday, 9/14, 10:00 - 11: 50 am

Molly's AdobeDogs doesn’t offer playgroups for medium or large dogs often, and this one has a special bonus! Six to eight lucky dogs will get to play on and off for almost two hours. Their lucky owners will have a fantastic opportunity to learn about play behavior from Julie Bond, a certified animal behaviorist. Julie will answer questions, guide you through what you are observing, and help your dog make great play decisions! Julie is truly an expert on dog play; this is an opportunity you won't find anywhere else.

If you’ve ever wondered what dog play is all about—or asked any of these other questions, this seminar is for you (and your dog!) Does play have to be fair and balanced? Does your dog, or your dog's friend, play in a way that makes you nervous? How can you tell if you should step in and stop a play session? Is it okay for dogs to play rough with each other? Do adult dogs still want to play? How can you hold your own successful playdates?

Julie will help you explore and decipher dog body language as you watch your dog play. Dogs will have a chance to play together, but we will also break them up into pairs and groups so you have a chance to see how play can change with different participants. (And, it gives the dogs a chance to rest!)

If you would rather watch other dogs play and not worry about your own, there is a HUMANS ONLY option.
