I have a 5 week Clicker Conformation class starting on Friday, February 4 in San Leandro.
I have scheduled the next Marshmallows class for March 17 in Dublin. And, I will be offering the brand new Confidence Building class for the first time also starting on March 17. The Confidence Building class is open to puppies and dogs of all ages. It will compliment your regular puppy class nicely, but should not be done instead of a basic puppy class!

Point Isabel Christmas Eve Walk
I hope to see all of you at Point Isabel tomorrow morning when we do our annual Braveheart Christmas Eve walk! We will meet at Point Isabel, in the parking lot in front of Mudpuppies at 10am. There is a coffee shop and cafe there but Rick and I will stop at Starbucks on the way! Dress warm it may be chilly but it is so great for the dogs to blow off some steam before the holidays!
Point Isabel is in Richmond, off of Central Avenue which is off of 580.
