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!
Foundation Classes
These 3 classes are the basics for a great community dog, and we start new sessions every few weeks.
Check the List of Current Classes for class and registration information.
Puppy Preschool--Start off right-- start this class as soon as your pup is 10 weeks old and has been in your home for at least 10 days. Part support group/part training class. If you have a new puppy and don't see a class starting within 10 days, please email me at Molly@AdobeDogs.com.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PUPPY PRESCHOOL
Manners & Minding 1--Your pup is still a work in progress. This class is for "teenagers" who are 4 to 8 months old.
Basic Manners for Community Dogs--For dogs 6 months or older who haven't had any basic training or may need a refresher course. Great class for rescue dogs.
Please sign up just so I have an idea of how many to expect--or you can send me an email.
Snacks & Santa -- Holiday Open House
Wednesday, December 11
5:30 to 8:30 pm
There will be snacks and even Santa is going to drop by!
I will have an area set up for photos (with or without Santa)--so bring your phone or camera, and we will help you get a holiday pic. (Please--only nice dogs; we don't want anyone to end up on Santa's naughty list!)
The doors open at 5:30, and Santa will arrive around 6:45. The party ends at 8:30. It's a busy time of year--but this is a chance to spend a few fun minutes to enjoy the holiday with your hound!
