Back to School for Puppy too!

Hi All!

We just want to let you know that we are truly happy with the way that training is going at Side Show. Trainer Trisha Dunphy is wonderful and best of all, is getting real, repeatable results.

We can help start your puppy out the right way with our Puppy Play and Learn A Lot class and keep her pursuing her canine scholarly career with our basic and more advanced classes.

Try out some training at The Pet Cabaret - you'll be glad you did!

To get the right start we recommend that you first do a "20/20 Look" with our trainer, Trisha Dunphy. The "20/20" consults are private 20 minute evaluation sessions for the tiny cost of $20.00. Trisha is also available for private sessions and home-based lessons.

 
"Puppy Play and Learn A Lot" (A Pre-School Level Class) - 4 weeks - $150
New classes beginning - ongoing  - Saturdays, 11:45 AM - 12:45 PM
This introductory class is all about your pup (to 6 months of age) and the information you need as a puppy parent. The sessions will emphasize socialization and new experiences in an appropriate atmosphere. You'll learn about reading your pup's body language along with such basic cues as sit, down, and to come when called. Other behaviors such as chewing and jumping will be addressed as will house training. A great time to bond with your pup and get your family involved! Classes do NOT have to be used consecutively.

"I'm a Big Dog Now" (Basic Obedience) (Level 1 class) - 7 weeks - $200
Thursdays, 6:30 - 7:30 PM, starting Sept.13
Saturdays, 10:30 - 11:30 AM, starting Sept.29
Wednesdays, 6:30 - 7:30 PM, starting Oct.3
Wednesdays, 7:30 - 8:30 PM, starting Oct.24


A secondary puppy class teaching further socialization and correct behavior to puppies. For older dogs too as a brush up course. Especially appropriate for "new to you" rescue dogs. Basic obedience will be emphasized in this course. We'll introduce focus and control. A definite building block class. For pups 6 months and older. This really is a great class for dogs of any age!

"I Used to be a Good Dog" (Revisiting Obedience) (Level 1 class) - 7 weeks - $200
Thursdays, 7:30 - 8:30 PM, starting Sept.13
Saturdays, 1:30 - 2:30 PM, starting Sept.15


Our most popular class, this is for the adolescent or older dog who just isn't  what s/he used to be, or maybe never quite was. Perhaps she's stopped listening to you or perhaps he gets back to you at some point when you call him. Focus, control, distractions, discipline, and fun will be emphasized in this class. Get your dog back on track with this fun and educational class.

"But Wait, There’s More"- Advanced Obedience (Level 2 class) - 6 weeks - $200
Saturdays, 1:30 - 2:30 PM, starting Oct.20

So you and your dog have completed a basic obedience class, now what? This class is a natural progression from your first basic obedience experience. In this class we’ll introduce distractions, mastering existing cues and learning new advanced cues. In other words we’ll make sure your dog will listen to you “in the real world”.This will be a fun and creative learning experience for you and your graduate dog!
Your dog must have completed either a Basic Obedience or a Refresher Obedience course at The Pet Cabaret or receive permission of the trainer to enroll.
