We are accepting applications and will work on home visits while classes are going on. All dogs will be able to go to their new homes on Friday, April 18th after graduation.

Their teen trainers continue to work on teaching the dogs all the basic skills and manners. A few have added in some tricks like Paw and Roll Over!
