Raptor Class!!!
Mark your calendars!! I am super excited to announce that I will be assisting/co presenting a new Raptor Class with Jenny Papka as a fundraiser to benefit Native Bird Connections. We will have live birds of prey as we teach you about our native raptors, how you might be able to help them, how to identify the different species, what species you may see locally and so much more! This exciting one session class will be held on Sunday, December 14 from 1-3pm at Dodger's Paws Dog Training in Pleasanton. Cost is $45 per person. Thank you Christine Salazar for donating the use of your space to benefit our birds. Jenny is an amazing presenter with a 25+ year career as a raptor keeper, handler and former rehabilitator she has a wealth of information about these animals. Please contact me if you would like to attend and i will get you signed up. Please feel free to share!

UPCOMING FLASH CLASSES!
Flash classes are one hour, one session classes that focus on a particular goal or topic. They are perfect classes to fill in around the holidays when finding several weeks in a row is challenging due to people going away for the holidays, the actual holidays and time and financial constraints in general.
I added a few flash classes to the schedule and wanted to be sure to share them so that people know that they are available. Each class is held in San Leandro and is one hour, one session at a cost of $20. There is no need to pre-register, but you must RSVP so that I know that I have people planning to attend. If I do not get enough interest, the class is canceled. You pay at the class.
Here are the upcoming Flash Classes I have scheduled:
Thanksgiving Preparedness
Thursday, November 13, 7pm
In this class we will focus on the behaviors necessary for your dog to be a good host or guest over the holidays. We will be taking your dogs household manners to a whole new level and looking closely at the things we need our dogs to understand and be reliable at over the holidays.
Tricks!
Thursday, November 20, 7pm
In this class we will focus on trick training with our dogs. Trick training is a fantastic way to improve your training skills, offer enrichment and mental stimulation to your dog and it's tons of fun!
Keep em' Busy!
Thursday, December 11, 7pm
In this class we will focus on mental stimulation and enrichment ideas and look at different ways to burn off energy in your dog.
Classes are limited to 4 to 6 dog/handler teams. Please email me to RSVP.

November Newsletter
Happy Autumn, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy End of Daylight Savings! Can you believe we are already getting ready to wrap up 2014? I can't. Generally, classes begin to wind down around this time of year due to the holidays, people traveling and less available for classes. However, I do offer some shorter session classes that give you an opportunity to keep your dog in training with only a three week commitment. We are also offering several Flash classes, which are one session drop in classes that each cover a specific topic. RSVP for flash classes is required, but not pre registration. Take a look at the class schedule to see if there is anything that you may be interested in.
DOG OF THE MONTH
Boone is a sweet as can be Shih Tzu who is loved and adored by his owners Dawn and Matt. He has attended classes with Braveheart and even came to stay with us for a board and train. We love Boone and enjoying working with him!
PACO COLLAR CLASS
On November 7 Braveheart is hosting a Paco Collar decorating class. You provide Paco with the color of leather, color of hardware, length and width of collar and then you get to spend Friday night from 7 to 10 making your own awesome collar that you get to take home that night! I have done this class a number of times and always have a great time and end up with an amazing collar. The quality of these collars can't be beat. Please contact me ASAP if you want to join us. Here are a few of my Pacos, some of which I made at the class:

Howl-O-Ween Party Pictures
Thank you to everyone who attended our annual Howl-o-Ween party. I am not sure a Thursday night was such a good idea as we had a smaller turnout than we usually do on our Friday night parties, but we still had a great time. Here are a few pictures!
