upcoming classes & weather cancellations

Our next Basic Obedience and Leadership Group Training Class starts on Monday the 28th. It is not too late to sign up, there is space available.

On Sunday March 6th we will be having another Calm and Balanced Seminar. These seminars have been a hit, they are very informative. Trainer Garrett Stevens does live demos so bring your dog!


A word about the snow...

Apparently we are going to get nailed with the white stuff tonight, looks like it's already begun. Something to note, Fort Fido is always open, regardless of weather conditions (I live very close to The Fort).

If you need to cancel your dogs reservation for any reason, make sure to call us. You have until 7:00 PM that day to let us know you aren't coming. Our cancellation policy is very liberal (some places make you call 24 hours in advance!), you can even leave a message. If you don't call us you will lose the day.

Please drive safe tonight and tomorrow morning. No need to call us if you are picking up earlier than your usual time (unless of course it's between 11 am & 3 pm).

Take care,

-Grant

Ryker & a few shots from class

This morning's assessment was Ryker. He is an eight month old, 80 pound, Yellow Labrador Retriever. Talk about energy and excitement! When he came through the door I think he knew what was going on, "Yes, It's time to play Doggie!". Ryker played (or at least tried to play) with almost everyone in the Big Roll. He made quite a few buddies and really ripped it up, in short, he was into it! We plan on seeing more of Ryker, Doggie Daycare is really good for this one.

Take it easy this weekend,

P.S. Another Basic Obedience and Leadership class (with trainer Garrett Stevens) graduated last night, here are a couple of photos. Also added a clip of Ryker and Finn!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Please remember that we are closed tomorrow (Thanksgiving Thursday 11/26/09) and Friday (11/27/09). We are open for business Saturday (11/28/09).

Sunday December 6th we will be featuring a "Balanced & Calm" seminar with Garrett Stevens here at Fort Fido. It is from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM, the cost is $50 and all dogs are welcome to attend. Contact Garrett @ (253) 653-4890 for more information.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all from everyone here at Fort Fido! We are extremely thankful for all of our wonderful customers and our doggie friends. Thanks for your support :)

P.S. I'll leave you with another scary animal attack article found here and a cute video of are pal Seamus going down the slide.

Class tonight & the pits in despair

Fort Fido is excited to start its new group training class tonight! We are featuring basic obedience & leadership with Garrett Stevens. Our plan is to offer a variety of group training classes and workshops designed to strengthen the communication between owner and pet. A few rascals from the fort will be in attendance tonight. :)


In other dog news, unfortunately not good or exciting, I ask myself "What are these fools thinking?".

Have fun in class tonight pups, give 'em hell! Hehehe! Take care everybody,

-Grant
