October 2007

Hi All!

It's been a busy summer for me! And with business booming, there are some changes on the way...

First, check out my NEW Blog at Blogspot.com! All Teacher's Pet Dog Training E-Newsletters will be posted and archived here. And take a quick survey while you're there - October's is about interactive dog toys!

Second, I will be raising my training fees for the first time in several years as of February 2008. My fees will still be - as always - more than competitive with other local trainers. My fee for a 1-hour in-home training session will increase from $75 to $79, and the pre-paid discounted package of 4 sessions will increase from $285 to $299 (price is still a discounted rate).

Other fees will increase accordingly. For more information, please visit my website.

And just a reminder: as always, once you are a Teacher's Pet Client, you are always welcome to contact me with any questions and concerns about your pet(s). So even if you are not currently in training lessons, please do keep in touch!


The HOWL-idays are just around the corner, so start planning your pets' holiday photos now!

The Pet Photo Pros take some of the best pet portraits I've seen. Many of my clients have used them and been extremely happy with their services.

They will be at Highlander Pet Center in Arcadia on Saturday, 11/3 from 11 AM - 4 PM. Schedule your appt. now so you don't miss out! To reserve a time slot for your pet's photo session or for more info., contact the Pet Photo Pros or call Highlander Pet Center at (626) 357-1787.

Lucas (all groomed and primped) and I will be there in the afternoon, so we hope to see you there!

(While you're at Highlander Pet, pick up a NEW Harvest Chewz edible dog chew. These are the longest-lasting edible dog chews I have found on the market. Great for even super-aggressive chewers who destroy regular dog chews! Try one and let me know what you think. And remember, when choosing the right size chew for your dog, bigger is better - and safer!)

Finally, HOWL-O-WEEN is my absolute favorite Howl-iday! Celebrate this year by attending a local Howl-o-ween event especially for pets.

The biggest is the Annual Haute Dog Howl'Oween Parade & Pet Adoption Fair for Charity in Livingston Park in Long Beach. This is THE place for your pets to see and be seen in their adorable costumes!

Expect 500+ costumed doggies, door prizes, vendor booths, bobbing for Howl'oWeenies, a dog treat stacking contest, a Bulldog Kissing Booth, disc dog demonstrations, fun contests, a pet adoption fair, photo opportunities, and preliminary canine costume judging (judges start roaming the park at 2 p.m.).

For more information or to pre-register your dog online, visit the Haute Dog website.

Hope you all had a wonderful summer, & that I'll see you all soon!
