Fostering Dogs for Success!Are you a foster dog parent for a rescue or humane organization? Pawsitive Results is offering a FREE workshop Sunday, January 27 from 2 until 5:30 p.m. on Fostering Dogs for Success! The event will be at Tri City Leisure Center, 485 Brooks Avenue, West Columbia, SC. The workshop is free, but registration is required as there are limited seats available.
In this workshop, you'll learn:  - What dogs are telling you -- how to understand canine behavior
- How to recognize what's normal and what are potential behavioral issues.
- Safe interactions between your new foster dog and existing pets.
- Tips for addressing common problems, such as housetraining, jumping up and stealing.

This workshop is for people only (no dogs).
Please share this with your friends who foster -- together, we can help save more dogs! Register for Fostering Dogs for Success! |

Does Your Training Need Fine Tuning?
If you've gone through a Pawsitive Results Family Manners class and want more fine tuning on specific exercises, we have private lessons just for you!
Our Fine Tuning private lessons help you work on the exercises you want special help with, such as walking nicely on leash, coming when called during distractions, training multiple dogs and more. We'll tailor the lessons just for you, built on the solid foundation you learned during our group classes.
Family Manners students also get a special discounted rate compared to our other private and behavioral private lesson rate. For more information, please visit the website. |
