Dog Classes
Dog obedience and training classes are scheduled at the Monterey Bark Park in Galt on Saturdays through Nov. 21. The park is located at 1170 Monterey Bay Court in Galt.
Cost is $90 for this six-week course with an additional $15 fee for testing and certificate at end of course. Puppies must be at least 12 weeks old and have proof of vaccinations. Handlers must be physically able to control their dogs. Parents must accompany children under 12.
The class will focus on control and social skills in the pet dog. Your dog will not be trained for you. You will be given skills to use at home.

Owners should bring treats, water, water dish and bags suitable to pick up after the dog, and wear comfortable close-toed shoes.
