Class Times & Dates
Start Time: 8pm
Dates: 22, 29 and November 5
Instructor: Janilee Benell
If you have ever wished you could just drop in and ask an certified dog trainer questions, here is your chance!
There is LOADS of information out there, but the tricky part is knowing what parts are relevant for your dog in your situation. We are here to help and are making it easy as ever. Drop in to 1 or all 3 classes with your dog and work through the skills you currently need.
Janilee will be there to answer questions or coach you on the skills your working on. If you have a dog who can not handle group classes, you are still welcome to come and spend time with a trainer - we just ask you leave your dog at home. We know dog ownership is not easy (or cheap) so we hope people will take advantage of these low cost drop in sessions.
Pre-registration for the class is required as there is a limit to the number of teams that can attend each session. Each registration is for 1 owner and 1 dog.
