Well, after almost a year off I will be returning to teaching more classes.  I want to thank Amanda Appling and Jon Sparks for carrying the majority of the load in this last year; they have done a great job.  Thank you, thank you, both!  But after two new hips I can’t sit back and watch class from the sidelines any longer, I miss classes and the students.  I will still be doing private in-home lessons and consultations, in addition to the classes.  At this time I’m not sure which classes I will teach but as this develops it will be noted on the schedule.  Thank you for your continued support over the last 30 years.

We recently held our first Canine Good Citizen workshop. Read more about it by clicking here.

I am so excited From the Heart Dog Training has booked Lew Olsen for Aug 5, to discuss nutrition in dogs.  I’ve followed Lew for years with all of her information on nutrition and feeding.  She writes a wonderful newsletter on a multitude of nutritional issues, she give information that is preventative as well as how to live with many ailments.  We will have much more in the near future regarding her lecture, so check back at the Events page often.  If you would like to see some of Lew’s work, check out www.b-naturals.com for some of her writings.  I can’t wait until August.

Kathy of Kathy’s Grooming has moved!  She has re-located to From the Heart Dog Training Center and we are proud to have Kathy involved with us in providing the best pet services in Salinas.  She is very kind when handling grumpy Fidos and does a wonderful job with all dogs.  I’ve known Kathy for several years and she is the only person I let groom Barney.  She can be reached for an appointment at 206-0782.   Please help us welcome Kathy on the team!

Katrina Update - I’ve just returned from New Orleans and although I am very behind in returning phone calls and re-scheduling private lessons, I feel it’s important to post an update on the situation in New Orleans.
