WINTER PUPPY AGILITY CLASSES !
Fun class environment, small student teacher ratio and up to date training methods used.
Did you know it takes a dog over 2 years of training to get to a competiton level for agility? Start now and you will be ready to train in the summer at our outdoor grassy fields!

We offer agility classes throughout the week and obedience classes on the weekends. We are still accepting students for the foundation and beginner agility classes on Tuesday evenings. The next set begins Tuesday, January 20th at 7:30 pm. Please call Anna at 905-263-8539 or email Anna at clpr@wcshighspeed.ca if you are interested in signing up or want more information. Classes are $160.00, tax included, for a six week session. Not only are these classes both fun for dog and human, but it's also a great way to stay active over the winter months and meet new people. Check out "Lily" after six weeks of puppy agility class, what a star!

CANADA GROOMS 2008!


This year Jen, Val and myself (Anna) had the pleasure of attending Canada Grooms 2008 in Oakville. Our day was full of grooming demonstrations, guest speakers and time to investigate all of the newest and coolest grooming tools, grooming products, innovative new inventions, as well as cute and fun products for the family pet.

Yvonne Norton demonstrates how to achieve the perfect English Setter tail while Nancy Bryson makes sure "King" is comfortable on the table.
The almost finished product of Yvonne's very talented handy work. It was amazing how quickly she groomed this Setter. He looked fantastic!

There were a ton of hilarious costumes and outfits for your pet. I couldn't pull myself away from this booth. Skunks, dragons, bumblebees if you could think it, it was probably there. Too cute!!



There's Val stocking up on lots of goodies! This was one of the popular spots to be. Not only were there great products to be seen and purchased but the prices were fantastic too. Although Jen and myself are not groomers we also walked out with plenty of products to try on our own pets.



By the end of the day, I had a new found respect for groomers. Not only are these people hard working individuals who have to make sure they are keeping their clients, both human and animal happy, but they are also extremely creative and talented. We really enjoyed seeing each demonstration and appreciate the knowledge that each guest speaker/groomer shared with us. This whole experience almost made me want to pick up a pair of shears (that would be scissors in groomer language) and try my hand at grooming but I think I will leave it up to the experts.
