Academy Holiday Gathering

Academy Holiday Gathering

Academy Holiday Gathering

Let’s have some fun!

Activities:

  • Gift box scentwork search! Before class wrap 2-4 boxes like presents, and then wrap another box that has your dog’s favorite treats and/or a favorite toy and we will all see if our dogs can find that box! Or you can do one box with a favorite toy and one with treats and see which they choose first.

  • DIY crafts for dogs. Make your dogs their own Christmas Crackers. Save up your empty TP cardboard rolls, and have some wrapping paper ready.

  • Ugly Sweater switch! Have two ugly Christmas sweaters (jumpers)? We will see who can swap sweaters with their dogs the fastest (no traumatizing dogs allowed 😉)

  • Dog cookie recipe swap! Have a favorite recipe for making dog treats? Let’s all share our favorites.

  • And more…. I’ll send out reminders on what to have ready in the Newsletter.

Ugly Sweater Fun Run/Walk

Ugly Sweater Fun Run/Walk 1Mile/5K

The catch is, you and your dog BOTH have to wear an ugly holiday sweater 😂

(you can take the dog’s sweater off to run if they are bothered by it)

You have one week to complete your run/walk, and to get your completion certificate you have to send me a picture of you and your dog in your ugly sweaters! There WILL be a contest for the best ugly sweater team and by best I don’t mean fastest, I mean best ugly sweaters.

Dog Training Instructor Mentoring

We have a group of folks now pursuing or interested in pursuing becoming a dog training instructor and learning how to teach others to train dogs. During this chat we will talk about that process, about the ins and outs of teaching people, about the highs and lows of instructing people, about some of the challenges unique to teaching others to train their dogs. This is not a how to talk, but rather a chat to answer questions you might have and to help support those who are getting started.

Open to anyone curious or interested in perhaps one day becoming a professional dog trainer.
