Paw Law has doggy life-preservers in various sizes for dogs that are new to dock diving and/or swimming.

 

Additional classes will be added or deleted based on need.  Start dates and times are subject to change. Since Spring weather in the Midwest is unpredictable, we will NOT have class if the temperature is below 60 degrees or if there is an imminent threat of severe thunderstorms.
