🐾📸 Say Cheese!
Our Frolic with Fido teams spent today's class learning one of the cutest tricks around—the selfie pose! From shoulder snuggles to picture-perfect perches, these pups worked on confidence, body awareness, focus, and trust while making memories with their favorite humans.

The smiles say it all... learning is even more fun when you do it together! ❤️

FUN AGILITY starts Tuesday, 6/16 12:30pm
This class is all about having fun with your dog! Our Fun Agility class is not designed to prepare you for competition—instead, it focuses on building confidence, teamwork, and joy through safe, positive interaction with agility equipment. Together, we’ll jump, crawl, climb, and explore a variety of obstacles at a pace that’s comfortable for each dog. Come ready to play, laugh, and leave with a happily tired pup. 🐾

Each class is unique and fun, increasing your dog's ability to focus around other dogs and distractions, advance your obedience skills while building a strong connection with Fido (so he’ll listen better).

Huge congratulations to our amazing canine class graduates on earning their AKC Novice Trick Title! 🎉🐾

Laughter, learning, agility fun, teamwork, and impressive new tricks! From spins and stays to jumps and clever performances, these dogs (and their humans!) showed dedication, patience, and heart every step of the way.

Trick training is so much more than just fun — it helps build confidence, strengthens the bond between dogs and their handlers, provides mental stimulation, improves focus, and encourages positive behavior both at home and in public. Happy brains make happy dogs! 🐶❤️

We are so proud of every team for all the hard work and enthusiasm you brought to class. Great job earning those titles!
