Tell me what you want!

Hi there. I am working on my class schedule for August and thereafter. I want to get input from my clients so please give me your thoughts.

I will continue to offer Three's Company, but it will be offered in Pleasanton, at Dodger's Paws on Tuesday mornings at 10am. I will also offer a 5 week conformation class on Tuesdays in Pleasanton at 11am.

So, this brings me to the San Leandro conformation classes. I am considering continuing to do Wednesdays at noon at a local park. The Wednesday noon class is generally well attended. Will you still be attending when it is at a park?

On Fridays I will be offering my Strength, Balance and Body Awareness classes, Old Dogs, New Tricks and conformation also, alternating these various classes.

I would like to know if I should continue to offer a Tuesday night conformation class which would be held at a local park, probably around 6pm.

Please, I really want to know what you, my clients want and need. Feel free to respond here or email me at braveheartdogs@gmail.com.

BIG Changes for Braveheart Dog Training

I have an exciting announcement to share with all of you.  After 11 successful years in my San Leandro location I will be giving up my building on August 1, 2016. I have been going back and forth on this decision for a while and after learning that the building has been sold to one of my neighbors, my gut is telling me that it is time to let it go. And, I am totally good with this, excited even. My conformation classes will be held at a couple of local parks in the area and at Dodger's Paws in Pleasanton and I will continue to teach my Friday night classes out there including my Strength, Balance and Body Awareness classes, Old Dogs, New Tricks, Conformation Skills class and a daytime Three's Company class. I will do private conformation lessons at parks and at Dodger's Paws. I am ready for a change and excited to have more free evenings at home with Rick. 

Note that this will not affect any of our upcoming June and July classes or workshops, other than the July 9 Puppy Preschool and Beginning classes, both of which have been canceled. The August 28 Tools of the Trade workshop will probably be held in Pleasanton at Dodger's Paws and I will confirm that with attendees as soon as I know for sure.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, love, confidence and trust.

May 2016 Newsletter

It is starting to feel like Spring! As Summer approaches I want to give everyone a heads up that I will be gone for two weeks in June while my husband and I are on vacation.  I will then be gone for another weekend as I have been invited to judge Dachshund Sweepstakes in Southern California which I am looking forward to. Additionally, you may know that I am currently not offering private behavior consults or private training other than for conformation and parrots. I am happy to offer referrals to trusted colleagues.
