Some of you drive 40+ minutes. So we have established some general rules to cut down on unnecessary travel time.
🔥 General Rules:

Group Lessons are cancelled Above 90 degrees or below 32 degrees and/or heavy rain 1 hour before any group lesson
We begin at the posted time promptly. We will stay 15-30 minutes after the group for Q&A
Always follow leash laws. We require all dogs leashed at the beginning of the group lesson.
Do not let your dog rush up to other people’s dogs before the group.
Group Lessons are what we work on Advanced Handling Skills. If this is your first group lesson expect it to be hard (that’s where the fun/growth is)
Having fun is required. If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong 😜

🐾🎉 Hey Dog Owner’s Academy Family! 🎉🐾
We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Doggy Social at the fabulous Artisanal Brewing Ventures (Brewers at 4001 YANCEY)!
Mark your calendars for May 28th, from 6-7pm, because you and your furry friends are invited to a pawsome evening of fun, friendship, tail-wagging!
This is the perfect opportunity to mingle with other dog lovers in our community, share stories, and let our dogs make some new buddies too. 🐕💕 This social event is NOT a Group lesson.
Brewers is not just a venue; it’s a vibe – and they’re as excited as we are to host our four-legged friends.

Can’t wait to see you and your adorable companions there! 🌟
