I'm pleased to be offering a new Puppy Play Hour on Saturdays over at the new Mutty Paws Dog Day Care in South Portland.  I'm teaming with the owner, Kris Klinges, to offer a great new experience for new puppy owners.  They get to be IN the group WITH the pups and will learn how to interpret play behaviors, supervise their pup's play safely and stop unwanted behaviors. Perfect!  And...it's FREE if you need it to be.  We will be collecting donations for worthy pet-related causes from week-to-week, but there's no obligation to contribute.  Group starts on Saturday 2/4 at 2 p.m.!  Click the link below and you'll be taken to Kris' site for Mutty Paws, where you can find directions to his awesome ORANGE building!!

Beginning on 1/16/12 DWD will now be offering a Returning Retrievers Romp Class on Mondays!  The class filled amazingly quickly when the word went out....and 30 Labrador and Golden Retrievers who graduated from DWD as wee pups will be returning to romp this winter.  Oh my!  We'll totally have our hands full, won't we?  This class is open ONLY to dogs who trained here as pups, and space is limited.  Email if you want to be on the waiting list for a spot!

For drop-off or pick-up on school days, you may park in the DWD driveway or on Simmons Street.  For weekend play groups, please park ONLY in the Casco Bay Montessori School parking lot which is just past DWD on the opposite side of Ocean Street (left) on the corner of Ocean and Parrott Streets.  Leash-walk your dog down to DWD from there.
