September Newsletter

Summer is already gone and it doesn't even feel like it ever really came!  This weather is so strange but I have to say that I am not sorry that we had a fairly cool Summer since my dogs clearly prefer it that way.  And, Fall is my favorite time of year, so Autumn, Welcome!

DOG OF THE MONTH
Dylan Duncan
Dylan is a Beagle who lives with longtime Braveheart student Tracy Duncan.  Dylan started with Braveheart in puppy class and recently graduated his beginning class!  He is already active in nose work and we will see if he follows in big brother Dax's footsteps in trying out agility as well!


Upcoming Classes
Introduction  to K9 Nose Work, Thursdays, 6-7:30pm, 9/27/11, 6 weeks, $150, San Lorenzo
K9 Nose Work is a new dog sport where dogs are trained to detect target odors much like professional detection dog work. This sport is fun for dogs and people.  Dogs are worked individually so this class is great for fearful or reactive dogs.

Introduction to Odor, Thursdays, 7:30-9pm, 9/27/11, 6 weeks, $150, San Lorenzo
This class is the next level of K9 Nose Work where dogs are introduced to the target odors.  Dogs must have completed an Introduction to K9 Nose Work class and must have instructor approval to take this class.
