Spring Break and a Dog Show

We have been working on many new and exciting programs and partnerships!  Not only are we now working with the Weimaraner Rescue of the South, but we are also planning a Greymont Dog Show for June 2nd (more details to come soon...) 

   
We had the privilege of keeping these 5 awesome pointers during their transport across Tennessee.  They are now in a great rescue!

Open Tutoring with Bobby

Does your dog need a brush up on its obedience training?  Do you need advice for correcting certain behaviors?  Our trainer, Bobby, is now offering time on Saturdays to speak in an open forum format about any issues you may be having with your pet.  Tutoring begins February 4, and runs from 3p-4p.  If you are not a current client of Greymont, please give us a call to register, as all pets who attend must be up-to-date on their vaccines.  You are not required to bring your pet, but they are always welcome! There is no cost to attend.
