New Breed Specific Classes this Fall

AnimalSense prides itself on being the dog trainers to all breeds, especially mutts. That being said, it can be really fun and informative to have a room full of dogs who look, act and misbehave similarly. Our new breed-specific classes look at what your dog was genetically built to do and approaches basic behavior problem solving with this insight in mind. 

Golden Retrievers Doodle Delights
Goldens Rule

What breed specific class do you want to see in your area? Email us at train@animalsense.com to give us your suggestions.

 

While the kids return to school, it's time for parents to give their dogs a little attention during the day. Our daytime classes are the perfect opportunity to get some training in while you have a little down time. And if you have little ones at home, bring 'em with you!

Leave It Leave It & Drop It 101 
Does your dog love to help you fold laundry by taking socks out of the basket and then playing the "catch me if you can" game? Or does your dog think your child's toys are theirs to cover in drool? Add Leave it and Drop it to your dog's repertoire in this one-hour intensive class to take the game out of canine kleptomania.
