Love your dog but feeling the stress because he/she is not trained?

We are happy to inform you that we will resume outdoor dog training classes in the parking lot of the Bartlett Arboretum beginning Wednesday, June 24th!  

As usual, it will begin at 6:30pm (until 7:30pm) and all are expected to have the proper dog training gear (6 foot leash, and preferably a choke, prong or martingale collar).  What will not be usual is that we will have to keep a safe distance from each other, with no petting of other dogs; and since it is outdoors, it is your option to wear face masks (and should you choose, complimentary temperatures will be taken with an infrared thermometer which will hopefully arrive on time.)  Please stay home if you feel unwell.

Two nonprofits, OPIN & the Bartlett Arboretum, join together as a community, offering:  FREE Dog Training with Trainer Rob Mullin of K9Wizard & Co. 

OPIN is pleased to announce this partnership with the Bartlett Arboretum; without their help we couldn't offer this service year round. Classes are open to everyone and are held every Wednesday night (6:30-7:30 pm) at the Bartlett Arboretum located at 151 Brookdale Road in North Stamford (map) (Silver Education Building-lower back entrance in cold and in inclement weather and outdoors on the Great Lawn in nice weather). Your dog will learn the basics: to walk nicely on a leash, to sit, stay, down, and to interact positively in the presence of other dogs.

Your dog should be outfitted with a 6’ standard lead (no retractable leads) and a choke collar.  Please bring a copy of your dog’s rabies and license certificate (not the metal tags) to the first class. 

Donations are always welcomed.
