Summer is winding down and kids are going back to school, so why shouldn't our dogs go back to school too?  Think about doing a class with your dog and check out our upcoming class schedule.

BRAVEHEART HOSTING DIANE GARROD SEMINAR OCTOBER 6 AND 7
The Canine Emotional Detox - The Missing Link Seminar with Diane Garrod hosted by Braveheart Dog Training in Pleasanton on October 6th and 7th! Diane will share her Emotional Detox program which helps fearful, shy, aggressive, anxious dogs relax and cope. This seminar will be beneficial to dog owners, professional trainers and dog professionals. We can't wait for Diane's book to come out and are really looking forward to hosting her! Four demo dogs have been pre selected for our observation. Please leave your own dogs at home. Contact me at braveheartdogs@gmail.com for a registration form. Cost is $200 for both days. Please contact me if you would like to request a handout with detailed information about the program and seminar!

VETERINARY OFFICE RELAXATION AND HANDLING CLASS
I will be offering a Veterinary Office Handling and Relaxation class! The class will have limited spots, with only four spots with dogs and the rest being human only audit spots. Working dog spots will need to be pre-approved to determine that dogs will be comfortable in this class. The class will be held on Saturday, September 15 at 3pm at Chabot Veterinary Clinic and will be one hour long. The cost is $25 for both working and audit spots. Please contact me to register.

DOG OF THE MONTH

Kishi belongs to Debbie Mein.  Kishi started out as a foster dog who was just going to be staying with Debbie until her forever home was found.  Her forever home ended up being with Debbie!  Throughout her fostering with Debbie and now that she is a permanent member of Debbie's family, Kishi has attended our Marshmallows class, Winter Games, Canine Good Citizen and now is an AWESOME nose work dog!  We are so happy that Kishi is here to stay!
