Our next Meetup will be:
Saturday, Aug 18, 2018 @ 12 noon – 2:00 PM
at Christopher Playground in SF.

Free demos, advice & treats from The Pooch Coach!

Learn a new trick or 2. Have a question about your dog’s behavior? The Pooch Coach will be offering free 1-1 advice to attendees. It’s a great way to practice your dog’s greeting skills with other dogs as well as with humans… All overseen by an expert canine behaviorist.

Agenda for the Meetup:

Please be on time so you do not miss the exercises!

12:00 – 12:20 (Pooch Coach Clients only) Polite dog greetings. We will continue the exercises of walking our dogs by other dogs to practice calmness & not reacting.

12:20 – 12:45 One-on-one coaching for Pooch Coach Clients.

Note: 12:00 – 12:45 is for Pooch Coach clients ONLY!

12:45 – 2:00 Others can join! The Pooch Coach will introduce outdoor & distance commands. She often gets requests for dogs to learn how to come on command (at a dog park), but they are nowhere close to being ready for the task.

12:45 – 2:00 – Non-Pooch Coach clients can join and get free tips & treats.

1:00 Doggie sock givaway! – 20 lucky dog parents will win a pair of customized dogs socks with a picture of YOUR DOG on them! Details will be announced on our Facebook and Meetup pages.

As always, Free Professional photos by Soulful Pet Photography.

All SF Dog Connectors Meetup attendees get free samples of Charlee Bear Dog treats for their pooch!
