Denton’s Newest Doggie Graduates {Denton Texas Dog Trainer & Photographer}

Meet my latest graduating class…

Please excuse the crazy dog eyes, this is what happens when you’re in a hurry and forget the better flash!!

Thanks to you all again, for taking and attending my class.  I am sorry so many of you had to miss the last class!!  Remember if you don’t use it you lose it, so keep up the good work you have begun with your dogs.

As I mentioned in class tonight I’d love it if you would review me, here are the links to review me on  Yahoo &/or Google.  Oh and I also love getting comments, so leave me one, say Hi, let me know you stopped by!!

Dog Scouting Opportunity!!!

This is a COOL Dog Scouting Opportunity!!  Try it before you buy it, if you will…

Dog Scout Class/ work on Dog Scout certification – we have decided to have another get together outside of troop meetings for folks who are new to DSA.  This will not be a regular meeting, but will get a gathering of folks who want to learn about DSA and start their dogs working on their Dog Scout certification.  Anyone who wants their dog to become a Dog Scout must attend a Dog Scout Class.  We generally offer these in troop meetings a couple of times a year, but since we’ve had several new members join, we’ve decided to offer an additional opportunity to attend the class and work on the Dog Scout certification.  We will be practicing at this gathering, and will do check-offs as time allows.  If you have already sat thru a Dog Scout Class and just need to work on checking-off behaviors for the Dog Scout certification, come on out.  We plan to have Mart giving the DS class and Nancy & I will work with people/dogs who have already started working on their certification.  Once those in the class are finished with the class, they will start working on check-offs as well.  Note: you may use treats while working on training the behaviors (we’re all about positive reinforcement!!) but treats are not allowed when the dog is actually taking the test.  Also be aware that choke collars are not allowed.  Testing must be done on a flat or limited slip collar.  Head collars or harnesses may be worn but cannot be used in any way to “direct” the dog.  (we are all about positive training!!)  We will plan this meeting for Saturday, Oct. 17 at 10:00 AM at the parking lot by the wildflower area of River Legacy Park(where we met for the Sept. troop meeting).  Directions are attached.  Bring:  a lawn chair & lots of good treats (may also want to bring water for your dog).

 

And October meeting FYI…..

October Troop Meeting/ Fall Swim Party:  our fall swim party will be on Sunday, Oct. 32 (also known as Nov. 1   from 2-4 pm at Cotton Creek Club in Fort Worth.  We will be sending out more details as we get a little closer.  This is a OFF-LEASH event.  If your dog would not do well in this environment, please plan to sit it out.  Otherwise, we will be planning for a beautiful fall day for our doggies to swim! 

 

Let me know if you are interested in either of these cool dog opportunities & I will hook you up with the troop leaders!!

Dog Scouts Troop Meeting Info

As you know I talk a lot about this organization in my classes, I wanted to pass along meeting information for those of you who would like to check it out.  The troop leaders are Mart & Cindy, let me know if you would like any additional information.  Sorry this is such short notice, in the future I will post this info earlier.

For the troop meeting Saturday, we will be having the Dog Scout class and work on the Dog Scout test for those humans who have not yet been in on a Dog Scout class and for the dogs who have not yet passed their Dog Scout certification.   For those that are already Dog Scouts, we will be working on the Manners badge, and work some on the Sign Language badge, too, as time permits as these were the top two badges voted for.

Latest Doggie Graduates {Denton, Texas Dog Trainer & Photographer}

So sorry for taking so long to get these posted!!

You may have noticed that some of these photographs have been taken inside & some have been taken outside.  That is due to the fact that I teach classes at both the Denia Recreation Center as well as the Wiggly Field Dog Park.  Both of which are located in Denton, Texas.

I want to thank everyone again for taking my class, & to remind you to keep working with your dog.  Remember if you don’t use it you loose it.

I will have another basic class beginning at the Denia rec center August 13, & an advanced class at Wiggly Field in September.

Have a great summer!
