Puppy class!

In this photo you can see me-Asia- with adult mix Corey, Chihuahua Mayet, and an adult Dalmatian/Heeler cross who was boarding with us last week.  Her name is Sophie.  See how much Sophie and the black-eared puppy Traveler look alike?  Buddha and Tank wanted to get in the picture too...
However, this post is not about the eternal cuteness of puppies, it is about our puppy classes!  Now that the puppies are 4 months old they are all receiving their final sets of shots.  That means they have good immunity to the diseases like Parvo that are common killers in this area, and THAT means that they can go out in public!  We want to invite all of the puppies that live in vegas to join us for a socialization class once a week. We introduced the puppies to lots of different people and dogs as they grew up. At four months of age they are starting their shy phase, so to keep them from learning to be afraid we will take them out to see all the things the world has to offer. This 8 week class will keep them in the socialization loop through their shy phase so they can face the world with confidence like Shadow and Freyja in this photo taken in front of Caesar's Palace. 

Judith has lots of fun outings planned.  The plans range from informal dining at Sonic's outdoor tables to puppy parades in Home Depot, attending First Friday's pit bull parade, dealing with the crowds on the strip, and training sessions at the park. This puppy class will take place once a week and should start March 8th.  We are asking a small 10$ donation from each family that comes to a class.  This will help cover our travel expenses. We welcome other dogs, so if you have another dog living with a dark moon puppy or a friend with a dog they can come along too!
