27th April

We’re thinking about loading up the entire Pawsitive Vybe pack for a West Coast Swing in the July/August timeframe. We’re still in the planning stages, but have been chatting with some crazy dog people we know out there and it looks as if we can pull it off.

We’re planning on 2 seminars in each city, a day of Disc Dogging and a day of Canine Concepts, Pawsitive Vybe’s unique take on Positive Training.

Apryl and I will also be available for small group personals: Jam Sessions, Sport Evaluations, Behavioral Consults and Canine Concept lessons in the seminar cities and anywhere within 50 miles of our route.

What I am thinking…

Sign Up Now for Personal Lessons in LA!

For the last couple weeks I’ve been trying to put together a Training Tour stop in Los Angeles California.

There has been a strong Disc Dog contingent that have been going to this camp, so it only makes sense to bring in one of the world’s best disc dog instructors, right?
