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!!
You can now enjoy photos of your pup/dog taken here at DWD from the comfort of your own home without having a Facebook account. Just click on the link below and you'll be taken to my new photography site on Zenfolio. I'll be adding new galleries almost daily, so check back often.... I'm also available for private photo shoots if you desire. Just ask....
Homework
DWD families are supported in practicing good manners with their pups at home. Each school day, owners receive a detailed progress report on the pack's activities and learning. If a pup is struggling with a certain behavior, detailed advice and instruction is provided so that the owners may reinforce the correct behavior at home.Resources are ample here at school, where we have a mail room filled with information on small businesses catering to puppies (groomers, dog walkers, pet sitters, fence companies, trainers), training materials on a variety of topics, and other resources to support owners during their early ownership of their puppies.
Owners are encouraged to ask for help and advice as issues and challenges arise. School staff is diligent in providing answers and resources, even if that requires research, phone calls and other outreach efforts. We are here to make your job easier and more successful!
