Does your dog take you for a walk? Run away when you call him? Only the most effective up-to-date methods are used with “pawsitive reinforcement.” Understanding dog behavior is just as important as the mechanics. You will teach your dog to heel, sit, lay down, stand for veterinary exam, and come when called, in addition to starting basic off leash control. You will see improvements immediately following the first session and thereafter (working with your dog for only 30 minutes a day). The first class is mandatory and without your dog. Required immunizations and fecal exam must be current and documented. Please bring clean up materials and a six foot leash to class. Class takes place in Armstrong Park in Carol Stream. (6 weeks)

It’s time to create a healthy environment for your pet. Cancer, allergies and asthma in domestic pets have increased significantly in the last decade due to unnatural elements in the home. Our family pets spend a large amount of time indoors and we need to be more aware of what we are exposing them to. Your pet’s paws can absorb chemicals and they can ingest toxins from the air. With just a few simple changes, you can give your best friend a home that is naturally safe and toxic free. You will take home an information packet that will disclose which products are harmful to cats, dogs, birds and other small pets. Class is held in Carol Stream.
