Anna Westphal, MS, wants you to love every aspect of your pet’s behavior. From socialization through adult retraining, Anna is there to help you to have the best behaved non-human family members.

Yappy Hour and consultations are ongoing. Outdoor obedience classes are offered from the late Spring through early Fall. Please call (970) 565-6531 to schedule an individual consultation or enroll in classes.

Yappy Hour: Saturday Mornings

Puppies and kittens gain lifelong benefits from exposure to novel stimuli during the ages of 2 to 4 months. Safe encounters with new cats, dogs, toys, people, sounds, smells and other things are well accepted during this time period.

Yappy Hour provides a structured playtime for these youngsters to experience new situations and help them to become well socialized members of society. It’s also a great deal of fun for the owners!

Class is free, but requires current vaccination. Call for a reservation!

Basic and Rally Obedience

Individual Behavior Consultations

Individual behavior consultation is available by appointment. Please call the clinic to schedule a one-on-one consultation with Anna.

Canine Good Citizen Testing and Certification is available.

Older puppies and adult dogs benefit from schooling in the fine art of sit, stay, leave it and come. They will learn all that and more at Basic Obedience and Rally Obedience classes.

Anna works with you and your dog in an outdoor group class situation. The one hour classes are offered for 5 weeks and cost $65. Call for reservation in the next class.
