Introduction to Positive Training (IPT) is held every week on Thursdays (7pm-8:30pm) and Saturdays (1pm-2:30pm). It is required for all of our classes at All Fur Fun that you attend this 1-2 hour long talk. It’s a human only pow-wow where head instructor Paula Weir teaches you about the primary methods employed here, as well as determines a more personal plan of action for you and your dog.
This is the opportunity to explain to us what sorts of things you know and have been told about training and working with your dog, as well as asking any questions you might have. We will teach you about clicker training, free shaping, positive reinforcement (rewarding the dog), and negative punishment (removing the reward). You will learn why there are certain methods we NEVER use in order to help our dogs understand the things we want from them.
It is also a wonderful chance for you to explain the main concerns you have with your dog, or to ask about the various classes, events, and workshops that are happening here. IPT is designed to help you hit the ground running, but most importantly, start off on the right foot.

Does your dog jump on all your friends and visitors? And all over you when you get home from work? Does it frustrate you that you can’t have a simple conversation with someone you meet on a walk because your dog is out of control? Then this class is for you!

In this class we will work on self-control and obedience exercises to help your dog learn to be calm and relaxed when meeting friends, visitors, and strangers, whether when out on a walk or when people come over to visit. We’ll also help your dog learn to focus on you and pay attention to you in these types of situations.

You’ll be amazed at your dog’s transformation by the end of this class.

Note: This group class will have a unique format. You’ll start with a half-hour private lesson with the instructor, and then continue over the following weeks with four hour long group class sessions.

Pre-requisites: No previous training required. This class is not appropriate for dogs with aggression issues / extreme reactivity issues.

Cost for class: $150

One of the skills we teach is the Snout-to-Tail ™ Assessment.

Read how this saved one pet’s life . . .

A pet owner who took our class loved her little dog because she did her homework assignment of the Snout-To-Tail ™ Assessment. Where you go from Snout-To-Tail ™ with deliberate intent and purpose creating a baseline of your pet’s health. Also, so that you know more of what is normal for your pet, so you can more quickly recognize what is not normal for your pet. She found mammary tumors growing on her dog. She took her to the vet, who confirmed the diagnosis. Luckily she caught it early enough that treatment was successful. However, the vet did tell her that if she had let that go just another five or six months, the outcome may not have been as good. This simple skill that can take only a few minutes added thousands of minutes to this pet’s life.

When I tell this story in the classroom, some people wonder how she didn’t notice the mammary tumors in the first place. The thing is that she never really put her hands on her dog, from Snout-To-Tail ™ , with deliberate intent and purpose, like we teach in the class. She said she would come home from work, make her dog dinner, have dinner herself, her dog would sit on her lap and she would pet it.

Sponsored by the Communities Foundation of Texas, this yearly one-day event raises much-needed funds for charities across north Texas. Donations of $25 and above will be amplified by $2 million in bonus funds and prizes awarded to participating charities.

In just five years, North Texas Giving Day has pumped more than $60 million into the North Texas community. In 2013, more than 75,000 gifts totaling $25.2 million, benefiting more than 1,350 nonprofits.

HSFM has several special events planned for the day. Starting at 7am, “Ambassadogs” will visit local businesses to thank them for their support of HSFM throughout the year and to raise awareness of the amazing animals available for adoption from local shelters. Ambassadogs and volunteers will greet and take photographs with staff and customers at each location, and post them to social media with the hashtag #NTXGivingDay to encourage people to donate online that day. The Ambassadogs include:

Pendleberry, a Basset/Aussie mix who was treated for parvo

The Dude, a fluffy English Mastiff who was abandoned at a shelter

Blossom, a Jack Russell/Whippet mix who was found with her leg wrapped in plastic and had to have it amputated

Lucy, a Chow mix who departs to New York through our Love on Wheels program on September 23

Charities will receive live donation tally updates throughout the day, and for each $1000 raised for HSFM, logo t-shirts will be given to whatever lucky supporter is petting the Ambassadog at that time. An anonymous donor will match up to $10,000 that day in support of HSFM’s Love on Wheels program, which takes dogs from local shelters and sends them to a partner shelter in New York to be adopted. HSFM has set a goal of $10,000 in donations for North Texas Giving Day. Supporters can also help by “retweeting” posts that day on Twitter at @HSFMTweets.

From 5-8pm, HSFM will be at Agave Azul in Flower Mound for a “yappy hour” on the patio to celebrate and raise last-minute donations. Several of the Ambassadogs are expected to attend, and all leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome.
