🐾🎉 Hey Dog Owner’s Academy Family! 🎉🐾
We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Doggy Social at the fabulous Summit Coffee in Ballantyne!
Mark your calendars for March 22nd, from 12pm-1pm, because you and your furry friends are invited to a pawsome afternoon of fun, friendship, and 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.
Summit Coffee Ballantyne is not just a venue; it’s a vibe – and they’re as excited as we are to host our four-legged friends.
📣 Please RSVP through our Facebook group’s Events page to let us know you’re coming.
Can’t wait to see you and your adorable companions there! 🌟
