Honorary Dog
Instead of making our dog an honorary human, it would be more beneficial for our dogs if we became an honorary dog. It is essential to recognize that dogs perceive the world in a way that is fundamentally different from our own. When we interpret their behavior from a human perspective, we risk misunderstandings that can complicate our relationships with them.
In this engaging class, you will explore the fascinating ways canines experience their surroundings. We will examine their unique senses and instincts, uncovering how these biological traits shape their actions and reactions. By learning to see the world through a dog's eyes, you will move beyond common misconceptions and gain deeper, more accurate insights into their behavior
Great Habits and Meaningful Rituals
In this class, we will establish the cues that will streamline your daily life with your domesticated predator, eliminating unnecessary challenges. Dog training is not a one-time event; it is an ongoing practice. Many erroneously think they need a set amount of “training time,” which is often impractical in our busy lives. Instead, consistent 2-minute communication rituals are all that’s needed to align your brain with your dog's brain.
Throughout this course, we will work together to develop a comprehensive array of verbal commands and physical cues that are not only effective but directly applicable to your lifestyle with your dog. These cues will be reinforced regularly, ensuring that both you and your dog exude confidence and connection in your communication. By establishing these meaningful rituals, we will create a more harmonious and fulfilling partnership with your dog.
Canine Alchemy
Unlock your dog’s potential and initiate a journey that enhances your dog’s unique personality and charm. In this lesson, we use the philosophies of Confucius and Lao Tzu to help you understand canine body language, enabling you to interpret your dog’s movements and expressions.
Embracing the Zen principle of being "like water," you will learn to flow with your dog's energy; cultivating knowledge of their behavior and how to affect it with our behavior will make you attuned to your dog’s needs and foster an atmosphere of trust and openness.

Puppy Petting Zoo $5.00 Per Dog
Located at Casa de Luz 1701 Toomey Rd Austin, TX 78704
At the Puppy Petting Zoo, you will have access to a dog trainer who can advise you on any current issues with your puppy and guide you on how to socialize your dog effectively. Additionally, you will receive a notebook for your puppy, which serves as a simplified ethogram. This unique tool allows you to explore your puppy’s personality traits and gain insights into their behavior.
Dogs go through a crucial socialization period between eight and sixteen weeks of age. It is essential for them to meet a variety of people and well-socialized dogs in a safe environment during this time. Our Puppy Petting Zoo offers the perfect opportunity for your puppy to become familiar with the sights, sounds, smells, and faces they will encounter as adults.
By observing and recording your puppy's behavior, we can better understand and predict their emotional state, which is key to knowing what they are trying to communicate to us!
