SO MANY DIFFERENT CLASSES
“Sophie and I have been going to the Dogs’ Spot for several years now. We use to do a lot of agility classes but now that she is 11 we are incorporating Fit Paws Canine Conditioning to keep her active, flexible and agile. The Dogs’ Spot is not only a wonderful place for Sophie and I to keep our bond strong but the people there become like family. They offer so many different classes and are so knowledgeable.”
