Socialization Skills Class:
Are you unsure of how to introduce your dog to people and other dogs? Are they too shy, show a little reactiveness or over the top with excitement?  This class helps teach you and your dog to become more comfortable with these meet and greets.  You will learn about canine and human body language, how to use it to your advantage, how to set up the situation for success and calming techniques to use with your dog.  Many exercises need two handlers, so having at least two people per family attend is required.  Class is at a metered pace so we can build a better foundation for greetings.  Class is open to dogs 6 months and older and limited to 4 dogs.   Taught by Debbie and held at Royersford Baptist Church.

Price:  $130 for 4 weeks
Day:     Wednesday
Time:    6:30 - 7:30 pm
Dates:   February 18 - March 11

Pooches and Pints:
A great brewery dog is calm, quiet, on leash, people/dog/noise tolerant, and out of the way. This class here to practice neutrality in a chaotic environment even while the handler is not 100% focused on the dog. This is a 4 week class that meets at a different dog friendly brewery or winery each week. Handlers will learn how to maneuver through crowds while carrying a beverage of their choice and have a calm and focused dog while spending a night out.
Dog/Handler teams will also participate in obedience games and learn tricks. Teams will have the opportunity to be evaluated for Brewery Dog titles on the last week of class for a small fee.  Because we are going into public, dogs must be evaluated for class if we have not previously met them.  Class minimum 2 and maximum 4 dogs.  Taught by Jenny.  Any food or drink purchase is responsibility of the participant.  Locations include Von C, Bald Birds and Twelve 78 Breweries and Evansburg Winery.

​Town and Country Walking:
Taking our dog with us on daily activities has become the norm and we wouldn’t have it any other way!  What we don’t realize is that Town settings and Country settings have different expectations that we very rarely teach the dog.  This class coaches owners in the different etiquette and commands to help our dogs succeed in these environments.  Each class is 1.5-2 hours long and the first night meets at Valley Forge National Park and the second night in Downtown Phoenixville.  Class limited to 6 dogs.  Taught by Debbie.
Price:  $90 for 4 class hours
                  * Will pick up again in the spring due to being an outdoor class
