Does your dog need lessons on canine etiquette? If so, then we’re here to help! In this class, you will learn how to teach your dog basic manners skills – including commands such as sit, stay down, and relax – and utilize dog learning theory to help make your dog’s behavior more reliable, get them to stop jumping and watch distractions calmly, and much more. By the end, your dog will have all the skills needed to pass the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen test.

Neurographic art is a way to ease stress and promote mindfulness through the meditative practice of artistic creation. In this class, through lectures, demonstrations, and plenty of practice, you will learn the basic techniques of watercolors and lines in ink, creating beautiful, colorful, semi-abstract works of art along the way. As you concentrate on your handiwork, you will naturally begin to close out the outside world, slow down all that goes on in your mind, and relax into the act of simple creation. No artistic skills are required to start - but by the end, you'll walk away with a fun, easy, thought-provoking skill that you can practice almost anywhere and anytime.
Required Materials:
- First session of class: black ballpoint pen; white paper.
- Later sessions: 9" x 12" mixed media sketchbook (120 sheets); paint brushes of various sizes; container for water; watercolor paint tray (with paints included); black permanent markers (fine point and standard tip).
