TRAINING PROGRAMS

According to dog park gossip, our programs bring the most bang for your buck and its central location is pretty choice (it’s near White Rock Lake). This volunteer-led program provides both basic and continued dog training education, so that once you’ve mastered that whole “Sit, Stay, Down” bit you can work on more advanced maneuvers, like keeping your dog’s attention for extended periods of time.

 New classes start on the first Wednesday of each month, starting promptly at 7:30 pm and ending at 8:30 pm.
