Puppy Kindergarten

We offer Puppy Kindergarten taught by Dr. Michelle Posage, Director of Behavior Services.
Kindergarten for children is about learning how to respect your teacher, learning how to learn, and playing well with others. Puppies in Dr. Posage’s kindergarten class follow the same agenda!

The 6-week course  is designed for puppies ages 3-6 months. The class will introduce your puppy to basic obedience commands and provide critical human and canine socialization in a fun, relaxed atmosphere appropriate for families.

Classes are kept small for personal attention.

Course Content

• Obedience Commands: Sit, down, stay, come, leave it, loose leash, walk
• Problem Solving: Nipping, jumping up, house training, pulling on leash, stealing
• Socialization: People, dogs, noises, handing, and more
• Useful Information: Training skills and methods, early puppy development, communicating with dogs

Mobilize the Earth for Earth Day 2012

The first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life to speak out against the deterioration of the environment and demand change. As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency was created, the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts were passed,and the modern environmental movement was born.

Today, more than 1 billion people in 192 countries participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world. This year, in the face of global inaction on pressing environmental problems, we must harness that power.

Earth Day Network is calling upon individuals, organizations, businesses and governments to Mobilize the Earth™ and demand that environmental issues become a top priority.

Pets & Grills

Did you know that some of the most common foods we eat during our cookouts are the most dangerous foods for our pets? Meat with bones in it, such as chicken and ribs, are extremely dangerous for our pets to get a hold of…bones can puncture the stomach and other organs if swallowed because they cannot be digested. Corn-on-the-cob can also be dangerous because dogs have been known to swallow the cob whole! What do you do to keep your dog busy with something else during the barbeque?
