CAWS uses trainers throughout the valley that utilize many styles of training.  A trained dog is a happy dog!  And learning to communicate with your new pup is essential to a solid lifelong relationship.  These trainers offer everything including beginning obedience, puppy manners, Canine Good Citizen certification, advanced obedience, tricks classes, sports classes (agility, nosework, treibball).  Some offer group classes, some offer individual in-home lessons, and some offer board and train programs.  They can help with issues around potty training, leash walking, reactivity, crate manners, or anything else you may need.  We recommend any of these trainers, if you have questions or want help choosing the right one for you, please email us at dogs@caws.org.

Most dogs enjoy a few days a month out playing with their friends.  This is especially great when you have a busy day and need to come home to a tired-out pooch!  These daycares are very generous supporters of CAWS, allowing dogs in our program to play and even board at their facilities.  Please consider supporting them if you are utilizing a doggie daycare.

Good for dogs that may need a little extra help adapting to daycare, or if you want some training done while they are at daycare.

Thank you to all of our wonderful Strut Your Mutt sponsors!
