All of these dogs completed our Building Blocks of Behavior class for different reasons.

Some are reactive and needed a prerequisite for our Feisty Fido class.

Some are newly adopted and are building a bond with their new family.

Some are fearful and shy and need to build confidence.

Some are very excitable and can’t focus with distractions.

Some came just to do something fun with their best friend ❤️

Whatever your reason, Building Blocks is a great place to start! Sign up for the next class on 4/27 at 2:30pm.
