"In order to really enjoy a dog,
one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human.

The point of it is to open oneself
to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."
~ Edward Hoagland

What is our training philosophy?
This wonderful blog post by Deborah Flick says it all: "Alpha Dogma - goodbye to all that"
 


Are we having classes today? Yes! We hope to see you there!
In general we follow the recommendations of the State Patrol, not the evening news.
If the State Patrol says stay off the roads, we cancel class. If you need a make-up, give me a call: 328-6959!
