Puppy Playtime, Obedience Classes & More

Hello Puppy Parents!

I hope you all are having a wonderful start to the New Year with your Pups. My name is Kristy, and I am the trainer/behaviorist and manager at Sirius Fun Doggy Daycare. We are the sister company to Westridge Animal Hospital. I wanted to introduce myself and let you know what activities for puppies we have coming up. I am a certified trainer going on ten years now. I have been managing doggie daycares and working with families for this entire time. I have a Masters in Behavior from Texas A&M and my specialty in dog training is behavior problem solving with owners and family/canine dynamics.

At Sirius Fun we are beginning a new puppy playtime which we encourage you all to try out! Beginning next Monday January 27 from 5:30-6:30pm, we will be hosting our weekly Polaris Puppy Playtime. This is a structured “indoor puppy park” if you will. It will be supervised by our staff and parents are encouraged to stay and enjoy both human and canine socialization. This is a safe and fun way to get on board with socializing your pups. Ages 8 weeks to 8 months are welcome, as long as your pups are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and are in good health. If you would, please call to reserve your spot and we will contact your veterinarian for vaccine records.

Next on the list, we have our 5-week puppy obedience classes. Our first is scheduled for next Wednesday January 29th from 6-7pm. The class structure includes problem-solving, socializing, basic commands and most importantly, teaching owners how dogs learn. It is a fun and casual environment. We talk out problems and work together as a group to improve our relationships with our puppies. With the class comes a free half day of daycare ($15 value) which is a great introduction to our daycare program. If you miss a class, no problem! Make up sessions are 30 min, before the following weeks class time. Class is $110 for 5 weeks. This is a January special and this class has a few more spots open. Please let me know if you are interested in this class or the next round of classes in February. I also have private puppy sessions for $25 for a 45 min session. This is structured according to what you and your pups specific needs are.

Finally, we have our dog daycare program. Our daycare is structured in the safest way possible - by personality and size. Our daily routine is on a rotation so that we can better place dogs in groups with their “friends”. For our puppies, we have 2 groups. One is dedicated to the rough and tumblers. These are our larger breeds that grow fast and play hard. The other pup group is for the smaller, more sensitive pups. We take our time and make sure everyone is having a healthy and fun time.

I look forward to talking with you more and if you have any questions or concerns about your pup, please email or call anytime. Best Wishes with your puppy!

Thanks for your time,
Kristy A. Smith
