Hi folks! In May, I’m going to redesign several of the classes, including Puppy & the Basic and Better Manners classes. If you have taken any of those classes and are interested in helping us teach more effectively, I’d love your feedback. I need ideas on what you liked as well as what you didn’t. If you didn’t finish the class, why not? If you continued to the next class, why? Were you happy that you did? Just reply to this email with ideas. Thanks!
Videos?! Do you have any You-Tube or other videos (with your own dog) that might be good for us to display on the Ahimsa site? Let me know! I’d like to put some on the testimonials page.
Upcoming Events:
* Fraidy Dog workshop – Now’s the time to get ready for Fireworks!

* Advanced Puppy starts 5/10
Need your adolescent to listen to you OFF LEASH? This is the class for you. The class is run almost entirely off leash. Your puppy may not listen well off leash when you start, but will be much better when you’re done! Sign up at http://tinyurl.com/35tqae
* Green Lake Fluency Field trip starts 4/28
Fluency Field Trips are advanced Real World training for your dog. This one meets at Green Lake. It’s loads of fun and practical training. We focus on heel, come, sit/stay, and wait (emergency stop). Advanced Puppy or Better Manners are required for this class, so if you haven’t taken those yet, sign up today!
