He will talk about his background with dogs, read excerpts from his book, and have copies available for purchase and signing.

"The Total Experience - Emotional, Educational, and Entertaining: I highly recommend “I Love Dogs! A Tribute to Man’s Best Friend” by Jim Weagley. The book is mostly a collection of a wide variety of short stories that honor the love, loyalty, and laughter that dogs bring into our lives. However, it also includes some practical advice on training and coping with the loss of a pet. What sets this book apart is its authenticity, warmth, and relatable messages. Furthermore, it is captivating and moving making it a must-read for every dog lover! I love dogs and I love this book!" -5 Star Review by Lori Roehrig

When you join our pack, the relationship does not have to end after you finish services with us. We want to stay connected and keep in touch with you. Many of our class participants have told us they would love to continue conversations with their fellow classmates too, so we are excited to make that happen!

To keep the pack spirit alive, we will host events such as free pack walks for anyone who has participated in services with us. Our monthly, emailed newsletter will keep you updated on upcoming events and news.

However, if you are on Facebook, we would love for you to join our private Facebook group. It is a space to share success stories, ask for advice, swap tips, and show off those adorable pet photos.

It takes a pack to raise a great dog. Let’s stay connected for the benefit of furry friends!
