For who: 
Dogs of all ages between 8 weeks – 25 years old who are in for some serious fun!

During the course we focus on some serious fun and mental stimulation! Who doesn’t love a fun (party) trick?

These trick training classes are great for all ages!  Dogs of all ages can learn and so can humans. In fact, learning new things and being exposed to new experiences stimulates the brain and creates new connections, improving overall brain health and well-being. It’s pretty cool, right?
