Learn How to Teach Your Dogs From Their Viewpoint

THURSDAYS, JUNE 1 – 29, 12:30 P.M.

Keystone Room

Understanding how dogs learn best will enable you to teach them many behaviors. This is much more fun for both you and your dog. You will learn not only how to teach your dog to respond to basic commands for walking with me, sit, down, etc., but also how the dog can take responsibility for their basic manners. “Manners” in our context means your dog knows what to do with no specific command from you (e.g. I stop at a curb and my dog does not run into the street, or I stop to talk to someone and my dog remains by my side and does not run to jump on them). Contact Carole Artim at caroleartim@ gmail.com or Mike Artim at michaelartim@gmail. com for more information and a training class application. Sponsored by the MV Pet Club.

5 would sound like if they had lived in the Doo Wop era?

In their epic shows, DWP takes audiences on a journey from foundational tunes of groups like the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through their influences on the sounds of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations and The Four Seasons, all the way to “Doo Wopified” versions of modern musicians like Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz and Maroon 5. The DWP brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate, and in some cases entirely reimagine, some of the greatest music in American pop and rock history! This show is scheduled for 2 p.m. RSVP is needed by July 26. Please note: tickets are non-refundable after July 26.
