at 9 a.m. and is open to everyone in

Training Tip: A common question is, “At
what age should I start training my dog?”
The simple answer is: as early as possible
after the dog has had all its puppy shots
and your vet gives the OK. The younger
the dog is when they start training, the
easier it is to teach them.
For more information on training your
dog or any other related matters, contact
the Pet Club.
