Jump Start a Positive Relationship with Your Canine
Developed for our dog and puppy adopters, Positive Pooch is an instructional class designed to give our adopters the fundamentals of good dog training and jumpstart a good relationship between owner and canine. Each dog adopter receives a coupon to attend this free one-hour class on Saturday at 10:00 a.m., weather permitting.
Positive Pooch is also open to the general public for a small donation. Regardless of where you obtained your dog, you can join us for the hour and help get your relationship off to a great start. People who have not adopted from The Maryland SPCA can register for Positive Pooch five minutes prior to the start of class. Your donation for the class helps us care for the many animals we help each year!
Positive Pooch is an excellent introduction to our training methods and our six week All-Star Canine course. Positive Pooch is taught by one of our expert Dog Consultants and is consistent with the tips outlined in the Pets Incredible Training DVD given to each adopter.
