Sweet Puple Haze Pooch Parade!


Summer is here and it is time to enjoy the sweet night air!  Grab your pooch and lets stroll through the streets of Downtown, learn while having fun, and chill on a patio and socialize with other like-minded dog owners!

It brings me great pleasure to announce Bark & Clark's upcoming Pooch Parade! 

Please join us for the Sweet Purple Haze Pooch Parade on August 5th @ 7:30pm.
The evening will start with me, Certified Trainer, Tamara Clark, hosting a Summer time strut through our home neighborhood of the Historical Core.  We will start our date night with our doggie by stopping in at Pussy & Pooch's Pawbar for a delicious bite to eat.  Then the fun and learning will begin as we make our way through the bustling streets, spreading our Sweet Purple Haze.  After the work is done and the pups are tired, it is time to reward the humans with drinks and bites to eat of our own on the dog-friendly patio of the Artisan House!  

Besides the obvious fun you will have, this is a great chance to learn about how to handle your dog downtown and in general with other dogs and humans.  The Sweet Purple Haze Pooch Parade workshop's focus will be on you dogs socialization with congested city sidewalks (including dog on dog interactions), leash control, and focusing on you while dealing with distractions.  As well, we will have our usual education on the approved potty places and how to get your dog to go there. 
 
The benefit of working your dog in this environment is it helps reinforce their basic obedience and uses those skills to increase their focus on you - not all the distractions. We'll also work  on manners specific to the city, such as sitting at all intersections before crossing; sitting for introductions and the proper way to greet other dogs. 

We teach uptown manners for Downtown dogs! This class is so fun, it's more like an outing... So let's take a stroll through the city and focus on doggy's ability to deal with the public, the lively city and all the other pooches out and about.

I am so looking forward to this Pooch Parade, I hope I will see you all there and if you can't be there, I hope you will help spread the word!  

Be sure to RSVP by July 30th because space is limited.  The cost is $40/dog.
