Is your dog nervous in a grooming facility? Did you recently get a puppy who needs grooming visits? We have partnered with Barking Mad Grooming to offer Grooming Desensitization Visits. During your dog's visit, we will work to make the grooming facility a positive environment! $35.
Loose Leash Walking & Polite Greetings - Bigfork Only $40.00
Loose leash walking and polite greetings are both vital manners for a dog to have. Loose leash walking teaches a dog good walking habits, rather than having them pull on their leash. Polite greetings works on impulse control when greeting other people, dogs, or animals. $40/ dog - location to be announced before class.
This course is designed to meet your basic obedience needs. We will work on impulse control, polite greetings, ignoring other dogs, loose leash walking, and more. We do ask that your dog is not reactive or aggressive. The class will be held September 9, 10, 23, & 24 from 6:30-7:30pm. $200 per dog.
Paddleboarding has huge benefits for both people and dogs! Come teach your dog how to paddleboard. They'll learn how to relax on the board, board and deboard, and build their confidence. Meet us at Clark's Bay Recreation Area with a paddleboard and your dog. The class is $40.
This class will be hosted by Andy's Crafthouse in Bigfork. Bark 4 Joy's Patio Pup classes prepare owners for outdoor restaurants with their dogs. It can be difficult to navigate tight areas, ensure your dog ignores food, and feel comfortable knowing your dog won't launch to greet a person or another dog. This class is $175 and will include three class meetings, as well as a $25 gift card to Andy's Crafthouse! We do require your dog to be dog friendly and relatively calm to participate in this class. Not sure if your dog qualifies? Contact us!
This service is more involved than our victory visits as we will aim to desensitize your dog to normal handling done in a veterinary setting. Things such as eyes, ears, mouth, and the paws will be worked on during your dog's visit. For a half hour, we will get you and your pup feeling more confident when you enter the vet treatment room! $35.
Victory Visits have anecdotally shown to help reduce stress in dogs over time. We are offering 15 minute slots for you and your dog to come into the vet clinic and have a positive experience where no medical care occurs. $20.
