Shape Up Pup

Next class starts September 18th but you can still join in the current set to audit!
All Shape Up Pup students will get the option to repeat the next set no charge.

This class is appropriate for any age of dog, it takes you through the progressions of Justine’s 8 week old border collie “Revival”. From 8 weeks to 4 months of age you will cover all things foundations, so many of these skills and games are the building blocks for a really strong understanding of verbals, self control and relationship building.

Lesson 1 – September 18
Lesson 2 – October 2
Lesson 3 – October 16
Lesson 4 – October 30
Lesson 5 – November 13
