Weather permitted, all levels are welcome to walk from SNS onto the Upper Tampabay Trail. This is a great way to practice calm, assertive behavior around other well-balanced dogs. Trainers are present to help with any training needs. Please be prepared to walk 2-3 miles. Wear proper footwear. Bring water if needed. Meet at SNS at 9:00 AM and we will walk to the trail together.
Sit & Stay clients are welcome to bring their dog and children to teach your kids how to be positive leaders for your dog. This builds a strong relationship between your family and your canines. We work on everything from basic commands to learning the right rules for handling your dog. If you have more children than dogs we have SNS trained dogs available so all children can participate in the learning exercises. We look forward to seeing you! Fresh drinking water is available on site for all healthy and vaccinated dogs. Please wear proper walking footwear and attire.
