Summer Lovin' with You and Your Dog

Now that Memorial Day is behind us, summer has UN-officially started. But we've been thinking about summer for weeks at AnimalSense as we put together our next schedule of classes.

It's full of our favorite outdoor classes like Field Trip, which puts your dog in real life training situations, and Recall and Leash Manners, a must for summertime walks.

FocusTeach your dog how to concentrate on you in the midst of lots of summer distractions with our Focus class. And for all of you Focus graduates, we've brought back Advanced Focus, which challenges your dog even more.

Family Training
Get the entire family involved in our new class: The Family Dog. Dog safety, communication, basic skills and fun games are on tap for this family-friendly class.

Of course, our class calendar would not be complete without our usual favorite classes Fido Foundations, Canine Good Citizen, Doggone Issues and Shy Dog, plus much more including lots of puppy classes.

View our entire Summer I schedule.

Be our 100th person to register for our Summer I session and you'll get your six-week class for FREE. Don't wait: classes begin June 10th!

Our New Community Outreach Coordinator

Senior Trainer Erin Schneider just can't get enough of AnimalSense. She was recently named Community Outreach Coordinator, and her goal is to grow AnimalSense's brand and enhance our recognition in the community.

 

Erin recently left her full-time job in sales to follow her passion of working with dogs. That background should come in handy in her new position. ""I am trying to build relationships with other pet professionals. We hope to be the number one referral for veterinarians and other pet companies in the Chicagoland area," says Erin.

 

Erin believes AnimalSense's level of customer service sets it apart from other dog training companies. "I love that we really listen to our clients and help build the relationship with their dogs in the most humane way possible," says Erin. "I love working for a company that challenges you to be better, but makes it so easy to love your job."
