Fun for Fido - A-F
one day, one hour

Fun for Fido is an activity hour for you and your dog. It is a combination of tricks, games, obedience, and scent work. It is one hour for one evening (or daytime) with no 6-week commitment! Get out with your dog to spend some time together; all while having fun, practicing some skills, and getting in a little physical and mental stimulation for your dog. There are different curriculums – Fun for Fido A, Fun for Fido B, etc. Classes don’t have to be taken in order, so you can take class B the first time if that’s the one that fits your schedule, and then the next time you want to sign up you would look for classes A, C, or D. That’s four different versions of doggie FUN!! Pre-registration and pre-payment are required.
