Petiquette Group Classes
PLEASE NOTE: As Suezanne works to complete her Bachelor's Degree in Developmental Psychology with a minor in Applied Behavior Science, the group class schedule will be reduced. Class sizes are still small: generally limited to four dogs and their families; but some weekday evenings have now been set aside to accommodate private lesson clients. Weekend and daytime classes and lessons will return once Suezanne completes her degree and can devote more time to teaching.
