Gay and Annie in the “On the Ball” class!

 

 

 

The photo is one of our customers, Gay, with her deaf Aussie, Annie.  Annie had learned to sit on the ball, and by the end of the class, Annie had her front legs up on a slightly smaller ball, rolling it across the floor – she was an acrobatic dog!  Everyone, from the baby Border Collie to Annie who has been deaf since birth, had a great time!  We have 2 more classes scheduled. Stop in and sign up for an hour and a half of pure fun!
