Focus Your Dog's Attention!
Saturday July 27th, 2024 1:00 PM until 02:30 PM
Location: Pup Plaza
14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124

This workshop is designed to help you manage your dog's attention more effectively. These exercises, based on Leslie McDevitt’s “Control Unleashed” system, are great for teaching dogs to focus their attention on their owners, resulting in better recalls, less pulling on a walk, and even being able to pass by distractions such as cats, squirrels, and other dogs or humans that your pup might normally over-react to! Friendly, non-aggressive dogs are welcome to attend with their handlers. Please indicate if you intend to bring a dog with you in your registration. If your dog is reactive, we ask that you keep your dog at home, but highly encourage you to join us and learn some exercises to practice at home!

Stacy Braslau-Schneck, the owner of Stacy’s Wag’N’Train, has been a professional dog trainer for over 25 years. Her intense interest in behavior led her to getting a Master’s degree in “human and animal cognition”, and she continues to upkeep her education to ensure that the teaching and training methods she uses are the most effective and humane for both dogs and their people. She holds several certifications in dog training, teaching, and more from several independent evaluating agencies, and she is happy to talk about dogs, training, and behavior to everyone! You can find her services and read more about her at http://www.wagntrain.com/about-stacy/

Doga
Sunday August 4th, 2024 9:30 AM until 10:30 AM
Location: Pup Plaza
14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124

Cost: $15

Your Doga instructor will guide you and your pup through a 60-minute yoga practice and provide moments throughout the class for you to bond, reward, and breathe with your dog.

You will be encouraged to share your energy with your dog and explore the natural bond that exists between you and your canine best friend. Doga will provide you an opportunity to learn from your dog how to be in the present and have fun, while our dogs may pick up the calm and focus of our practice, eventually becoming more relaxed and comfortable with sharing a space with others.

A minimum of two participants is required to hold the class.

Proceeds from activities at Pup Plaza support Silicon Valley Pet Project's (SVPP) life-saving work. SVPP is a nonprofit organization, tax ID number 47-2361690. svpetproject.org

Paint Your Pet
Saturday August 10th, 2024 2:00 PM until 05:00 PM
Location: Pup Plaza
14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124

Join us to create your own, one-of-a-kind acrylic pet portrait on canvas, done in a colorful style inspired by American Pop Artist Andy Warhol. No artistic experience is necessary!

We begin with a short lesson about painting techniques with 3 different brush types. Then, we'll walk you through each step of the process - from transferring your pet's image to the canvas with graphite, to painting the background, to painting the main features of your pet, to the final finishing details. We will use vibrant, non-toxic acrylic paints. All art materials will be provided.

Before the class begins, we will need you to email us a high-resolution digital photo of your pet. Uncropped, full-body shots or face shots with uncluttered backgrounds work best. Also, pictures with good contrast work well. Please email pandamai@pmbq.com if you have any questions about photo choice and guidance, Mai is happy to help you.
