Class Structure

In this festive class, we'll blend general manners training with a fun holiday twist! Here’s what to expect:

Don't Destroy the Decor: Our training room will be adorned with holiday decorations. The challenge is to navigate the space carefully, ensuring nothing is damaged.
Prepping for the Visitors: We’ll set up a food prep station where we'll prepare HUMAN sandwiches to be donated to Face to Face of Germantown.
Breaking Bread: Experience a simulated family meal scenario to practice etiquette in a realistic setting.
New Meaning to Re-Gifting: Engage in a playful activity where Scooby will open faux presents and avoid chewing on the wrapping or contents. Then, you'll get to "re-gift" the packages in a fun and interactive way.

Join us for Festive Fido and make this holiday season extra special with training that’s as enjoyable as it is educational. It's a celebration where learning and holiday spirit go paw in paw!

Topics Covered

In addition to the above, we will address any questions or concerns, and offer tips for continuing holiday training at home.
