It's flea and tick season again here in Maine.  Please refrain from applying Frontline to your dog the night before or the morning of a school day at DWD.  This puts other dogs at risk of getting these harsh chemicals in their mouths during play and also interferes with proper saturation of the product on your dog, as dogs get wet here at DWD (wading pool) and roll around in the sand, etc. during the day.  THANK YOU!

With all the wet,nasty weather lately....and remembering how rainy it was last spring...I'm thinking it might be a good idea to use Fridays as "make up day" for a class that gets cancelled earlier in the week.  What do you think?  E-mail me at danceswithdogs@maine.rr.com with your comments.

Become a fan of DWD on Facebook!  This is where you'll find lots of photos of the pups, posted almost daily!!

Meredith Perdue, owner of & [unlimited] photography in South Portland, came to Dances With Dogs on Tuesday, January 19 to see what we're all about!

There is one coat for dogs that holds up amazingly well here at DWD in the winter months.  It's nylon on the outside to repel snow, ice and raine, with reflective stripes for night-walking protection.  The inside is lined with warm polyester fleece.  And it doesn't cost a ton of money!

In a very close vote, the four convict Bulldogs are the WINNERS of the DWD Halloween Photo Contest!  Congratulations to Lola and Trixie Fuller and Mosely and Charlie Anderson!!

Puppies under 25 pounds AND under 6 months of age (must meet BOTH criteria to play) are welcomed to attend a FREE weekly play hour with the Dances With Dogs Pack Leader, Julie Bernier.  Play Hour at The Kennel Shop at Mill Creek Shopping Center in South Portland is on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.  

At Dances With Dogs, the emphasis is on teaching and learning and your pup receives so much more than in the traditional dog daycare...
