Let’s Talk Dogs is a monthly gathering for people who enjoy learning about dogs—owners, trainers, rescue volunteers, veterinarians, and the dog-curious alike. Each session features a short, engaging talk from a local dog professional, followed by open conversation, questions, and connection.

This isn’t a lecture—it’s a discussion. Topics vary each month and may include canine health, behavior, training, enrichment, emergency preparedness, and everyday life with dogs. The focus is always on practical, real-world information you can actually use.

Let’s Talk Dogs meets the second Tuesday of each month and runs about an hour, with time to mingle before and after. The atmosphere is informal, welcoming, and designed to encourage thoughtful conversation and shared learning.

Attendance is free. Registration is recommended so we can plan seating and space.

A single session is ideal for troubleshooting, fine-tuning, or getting professional eyes on a specific challenge.

This option works well for:
• Harness fitting and leash skills
• Early puppy guidance
• Skill refreshers
• Minor behavior concerns
• Families who need clarity on next steps

You’ll receive tailored instruction specific to your home, your dog, and your goals. If additional support is recommended, we can build a structured plan from there.

This is an excellent starting commitment for families who want steady progress.

This is the full behavioral development cycle.

This class is designed for young teen dogs between 8 and 18 months old and focuses on core manners such as sit, down, stay, come when called, leash walking, and polite greetings.

If your dog hasn’t had this type of group play experience, please email or text us first—we can help you decide whether this class is the right fit or if our Basic Manners class would be a better starting point.
