Other Programs

Pack Walks

Group play/daycare isn't the right fit for all dogs, but all dogs deserve the opportunity to socialize in a structured environment. Pack walks fill that void!

Pack walks are a fun, new program that we're excited to offer to the WNY area. These group walks provide a physical outlet, while also keeping your dog mentally stimulated. It also gives you the opportunity to practice obedience, leash walking and basic manners around other dogs and humans!

A great supplement to training for reactive dogs, as well as fearful and nervous dogs.

We meet bi-weekly at local parks, paths and nature trails around the WNY area - we occasionally end our walk at an ice cream stand or brewery!

Therapy Dog Prep Class

The Therapy dog Prep class is an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with all the testing aspects. You will learn what it takes to be a therapy dog team and see where you can improve before taking the Therapy Dogs United test. Classes will be taught by Gretchen Buckles, our certified TDU evaluator.

We encourage all parties interested in becoming a therapy dog team take the prep class. Please note it is mandatory to take the course prior to testing, but you are welcome to take the class and forgo testing if you feel you and your dog are not quite ready.

Prep classes take place the 4 weeks leading up to the test. We are also happy to help you work on preparing for the test in private lessons. Please visit our Private lesson page for more information.

We are pleased to be able to offer TDU testing at our facility a few times a year.
