We have a shelter dog who is chocolate lab and Chesapeake Bay. She loves to run and has been in the Pet Smart training classes, but she needs more in terms of activities. I was wondering if agility training would be good for her. She weighs about 49 and is one years old. She seems bored if that is possible. She can be submissive at times as I guess all shelter dogs have this in common. Let me know what you think would be challenging for her Carol Busse 847 741 3909. We live in South ELgin.
I see there is a Therapy Dog class on Monday mornings. Any chance there might be a Therapy Dog Class in the evening around 7:00pm?
Thanks
Hi Robin, not at this time, but I’ll certainly let you know if I offer a second class. Murphy would be an awesome Therapy Dog! – Julia
Hi I have a three month old golden doodle and wanted to find out when the next puppy kindergarten class is?
Thanks you
Would like to find out when the next puppy kindergarten class is being held?
Hi Kim, thx for writing! Next Puppy Kindergarten class is Tue., Feb. 28, from 6pm-7pm. I’ll email you privately with more details. – Julia
I am interested in the puppy class starting this month, but I know I will be out of town for 2nd class – is there a way to make that up?
Hi Carie, I’ll email you privately. Thx, Julia
Please accept this invitation to the 2012 Petwalk for The Mothers In The Mills sponsored by The Puppy Mill Project. Email me at Maciebeans@mail.com. PLEASE.
Hi there!
I have an Aussie mix named Poppy and I have tried to get her into sheep herding training. However I have found that if your dog isn’t a Border Collie there is not much interest. I wonder if agility would be a good alternative for her? She is super-smart (of course!), eager to please and well socialized. Do you have a class that would be good for her?
Thanks,
Katherine Johnson
Hi Katherine, sounds like Poppy would be a natural at the sport. We start a Beginner Agility class tonight at 7:15pm at South Town Animal Hospital in South Elgin. Sorry that this is so last minute, but please let me know if you’d like to join us! Another option is my 5pm Sunday Focus for Agility class in Campton Hills which starts 9/9. If you’re not sure which class would be best for Poppy, please call me (630) 945-1437 and I would be happy to help. Thanks so much & I hope to meet you & Poppy soon! – Julia
I would be interested in enrolling my husband and border collie in the downtown hound class, but I see that we missed the first two classes. Could we join late?
Thanks
Lisa
Hi Lisa, thanks for your interest in Downtown Hound. The class is full & will not be offered again till Spring. Please feel free to join our 6:30pm Friday walks at Mount St. Mary Park in St. Charles. It’s free, so there is no formal instruction, but we could discuss other class or lesson options for your BC. – Julia
We have just rescued a Hound Mix through H.E.L.P on Oct 3. The woman I worked with (Charlene) recommended you for dog training. Our dog is about 5 months old. He’s pretty good with sit and come, but really pulls on the leash. I want to take either your Puppy Kindergarten or Beginner Obedience Class whichever you feel would be best. When does your next session start? How do I sign up?
Hi Ann, congrats on your new puppy! I just sent you a private email with more info on the Beginner Obedience class. Look forward to meeting you & Duke! – Julia
My 14 yr old daughter is interested in starting agility with our 11 month old lab. We have started hunting her and she is a quick learner. I see your Monday Agility 1 class has already started. Is it full? Could we start late? Is there another day you offer agility at the Campton Hills location?
Hi Melissa, I teach classes at the Farm Sunday & Thursday nights and Friday mornings. All classes are full through the end of the year. Perhaps private lessons would be a good way to get started until there is an opening in a group class. I’ll email you details! Thx, Julia
I have a young GSD that I have been swimming with Ron Hanik. He recommended that I contact you regarding a Nose Work class for my dog. She did a beginning Nose Work class quite some time ago, but now that we have finished with Schutzhund I would like to get her involved in Nose Work again. I am not sure what class I should sign her up for and would appreciate your recommendation.
Hi Margo, I recommend the Noon-1pm Thursday Nose Work class. This month, we have class Dec. 13 & 20. I’ll email you more details! Thx, Julia
I was wondering if you have drop ins to watch your Beginner obedience Classes. I’m looking for obedience class for my 5 month old Maltese puppy>
I see you have Beginner obedience classes 7:15pm-8:15pm in (South Elgin) but the days are TBD. Wondering if you have picked a day yet
Thanks Bridget
Hi Brydie, yes, you’re more than welcome to drop in and watch. Beginner Obedience is Tuesdays at 7:15pm at South Town Animal Hospital in South Elgin. The new session starts Tue., April 16. To register, please fill out the student app at http://www.SpotOnK9Sports.com. Thx, Julia
Hello! I just wanted to check in about the Tuesday night beginning obedience class. I will be bringing Bella, who is my CRI foster dog. What do I need to bring – I have a 6ft training lead as well as both chain and buckle collars and treats. Is there anything else?
Thank you!
Laura
Hi Laura, will be great to have a Catahoula in class! I’ll email you privately the welcome letter with all the details. – Julia
