Latest News!!
Hi Everyone,
Well we are into the new building and classes are up and running. There is still a few things to do but the important parts are done. Rob is putting the enclosure at the back of the building so that our dogs can have a secure place to be when they need to go out.
Well we are into the new building and classes are up and running. There is still a few things to do but the important parts are done. Rob is putting the enclosure at the back of the building so that our dogs can have a secure place to be when they need to go out.
Please note:
No food or drinks in the training area until the floors have been sealed. This goes for dog water as well. There is a dog water dish in the office and one outside in the compound if your dog needs water.During a one hour class your dogs should be fine until they get home.
Please do not leave your crates at the building. We do not have room to store crates for people. You are welcome to bring your crates back and forth.
The new address is:
Pawsitive Steps
1839 Ist Ave 12E
Prince George, BC
V2L-2Y8
ph:250 614-7297
OFFICE HOURS are Mon- Thur 10am -1pm starting Sept 14th.
Thank You
A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to all who helped with the move. I have not forgotten you and I have a list of everyone who came out. I will be sending out personal thank you's during the month of September.
Classes
There are a new set of classes starting up soon. I have a foundation Handling and Jump 2/3 Class starting Sept 3rd. I also have a Tue morning Handling class starting again at 11:15am on Sept 15th. This will be a level 1/2, not 2/3. Contacts and weaves in the AM on Tue will start again Sept 22nd.
Our classes are going to go back to the six week sets except for the Manners Classes and Advanced Pet Obedience. All other classes will run 6 weeks.
So class fees are 120.00 for the 8 week classes and 90.00 for the 6 week sets.
AVID Trainer Cards
We will not be renewing AVID trainer cards once they expire since we don't have the dog wash and we don't have the drop in times available anymore. AVID trainers will still get AVID trainer prices on the classes and trials until their cards expire.
Missed Classes
Please remember, if you miss a class, you lose it ( so please try not to miss!!!). With cutting back to one room we don't have as many classes available and therefore the classes we do run will likely be full. If you know ahead of time you will be away please let us know and you can pay the PER CLASS FEE for the classes you will be able to attend. Individual classes are $17.00.(this includes GST).
Winter Skills Camp
Winter Skills Camp dates have changed to Oct 30-31 and Nov 1, 2009. There will be a Novice session and an Advanced session. Registration forms will be available on the web site next week.
Rally O Trials
Forms for the Sept 26th Rally O Trial are up on the web site now. Please get them in ASAP.We will be doing a couple more Rally O Trials during the winter months as well.

Rainbow Bridge
We have lost quite a few of our older dogs in the last few months. We say goodbye to Denise McLean's Weimeraner Shadow, Teri Lory's Airdale Tako, Sylvie Fefer's Border Terrier Django, and very close to my heart, Mary and Phil Zacharatos lost Skye in August. These were great dogs and they will all be missed.
That is it for now, I will do up a newsletter soon with some pictures from the summer!

Upcoming Events
Hi all,
The entry forms for our one day Sept 26 Rally O trial are available at the centre and will be on line as soon as our internet service is back up ( supposed to be Aug 8 ).
We have changed the dates for Winter camp to Oct 30,31 and Nov 1. Registrations for that will be available at the end of August.
Remember that our address has changed. It is now 1839 1st ave PG BC V2L-2Y8. Same phone number as before. 250 614-7297.
Summer Hours are Mon-Wed 10am to 1pm for registration.
We also have some things that need to be picked up from the new building. There are 2 ladders and we aren't sure who owns them plus various pairs of shoes from the old building. We have brought them over to the new building but if they are unclaimed we will be giving them back to the shoe fairy who left them all! LOL!
There is a new schedule out for classes and various classes that are still in progress. My classes will not run from Aug 14 to Aug 28.
Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather we are having and good luck to everyone going to the Top Dog trial this weekend. I will once again be updating my knowledge base by attending an Advanced Jumping clinic with Susan Salo this weekend.
See you on Tuesday!
