We jumped in the dog-crate-on-wheels and went for a ride to the dog park. After a good run we made a turn and saw this sign.
What could it mean? Paw In Hand is the name of Barbara's business. She works with dogs and their people in their homes and also teaches group classes for Paws 4Ever and other places. But she wanted her own training center where she could teach lots of people positive reinforcement techniques of dog training.
We were a bit worried when we pulled up next to Max's Dog Wash for as you know, it is not my favorite place. But instead of going into Max's for dog grooming torture we went next door.
Then I saw my dog grooming torture table and got worried since I have been looking a bit tufty and I know that means that Barbara will get out the evil dog grooming torture implements to do bad things to my fur.
It is not another dog grooming torture parlor but instead it is Paw In Hand Dog Training. We now have a nice big room with excellent mats to cushion our feet. There are chairs for the people and toys for us. Ambrose and I hand to sniff it all over to make sure everything is fine.
This is going to be great. Barbara will be teaching her first classes there tonight. Of course I will help her as the demo dog.
It is very exciting to have our own training center. If you are ever near Chapel Hill stop by and visit us. And now that things have settled down we should be able to visit your blogs soon.

OH how exciting! Congratulations!!! PL2 said she wishes she lived by you so she could bring us but we said we would NEVER be naughty with Barbara and Niahm( it might be a different story if Ambrose was there..)
we got a chance to start our first class at the new school. we had taken a junior puppy class with barbara at APS a while ago and were thrilled to get into a small class in her new Paw in Hand. we are doing well, and really appreciate barbara's attention to detail. it makes learning/remembering so much fun!
