Today, Sarah and I are again joined by the super talented Nikki, who is one of our amazing trainers at our NJ school.
This week, we'll be discussing a super cool class that we teach in our NJ school: Dog Park Class!
Why a dog park class, you ask?
Well, as you'll learn in this episode, we're not big fans of dog parks. They can be really scary to some dogs, and they can even overhype others. Some dogs can get bullied, and some can even become bullies and … and we don't want any of that happening to YOUR dog!
Our dog park classes are safer and educational for both dogs and owners.
How does our unique dog park class work?
