My Dog, My Best Buddy - In Person Class For Kids - September 2026

ALSO NOTE: I ask for your child's name as I make certificates. Please make sure to fill in your child's full name - FIRST and LAST - where asked. You will list YOUR name where it asks for your name - there is a separate question about your child. Thanks! Have a child (age 6 to 11) and a dog? Join Wyoming, Ohio (in Cincinnati) alumni Lisa Desatnik, CPDT-KA, FFCP, FDM, CPBC, a certified dog trainer with So Much PETential for an in-person beginner training class for kids. The 75 minute class could be the most important investment in your child’s relationship with your dog. At My Dog, My Best Buddy, Lisa will teach kids (and their parents) how to be someone their dog will want to listen to and be with. Participants will learn how dogs communicate, how to be a positive dog teacher, and how to be a safe and fun dog playmate. Certified Therapy Dog Murphy will be Lisa's helper. While this class is FREE, pre-registration is required and space is limited. If you sign up and can not attend, Lisa asks that you let her know in advance to give room for another child. At least one parent or guardian is required to attend with a child. Please do not bring your dog as Lisa will have a demonstration dog.
