S.T.A.R. PUPPY (5:00PM-5:50pm)
The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is an exciting program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start. The S.T.A.R. puppy program includes the following: basic puppy-raising information (jumping, house training, nipping...), basic obedience skills, how to better communicate and understand the language of dogs, and what is needed for responsible pet ownership. This program is designed for dogs less than 7 months in age who have not had any prior group experience.
TWEENER (6:00PM-6:50pm)
Is your dog 7 months or older and never attended a basic obedience class? Then this is the group class for you! The Tweener class will cover all basic obedience skills (including how to infuse these skills as part of everyday life), how to better communicate with and understand the language of dogs, and what is needed for responsible pet ownership.
*This is not a reactive dog class. Each dog needs to be privately evaluated by the instructor.
Basic Obedience 1 (5:00PM-5:50PM)
Has your dog completed the prerequisite class of either the S.T.A.R. Puppy or Tweener Class and you're looking for the next level of training? Then this is the group class for you! The Basic Obedience 1 class takes the skills learned in the Star Puppy / Tweener Class to the next level. We revisit all the skills you have learned - increasing difficulty and reliability of performance. This fun class uses games which support teaching our dogs good manners while having fun at the same time!!
Basic Obedience 2 (6:00PM-6:50PM)
If you have completed the prerequisite class Basic Obedience 1 and want to start preparing for the Canine Good Citizen class - then this is the group for you. This class focuses on enhancing your leash work skills, how to increase your dog's ability to follow cues with various levels of distractions, as well as how to start getting more behavior for less rewards. You will also learn how to teach your dog to listen to cues from a distance rather than just right in front of you.

A Christmas Carol published in 1843, was the sixth of Charles Dicken’s twenty major works. His final work Edwin Drood was left half finished when Dickens died in 1870.
Charles Dickens gave his first public reading of A Christmas Carol on Dec. 3, 1867 at the Tremont Temple in Boston. On Christmas Eve, 1867 in Boston, a businessman named Fairbanks watched Charles Dickens read A Christmas Carol. The reading moved him so much he closed his factory on Christmas Day and sent every worker a turkey thereafter.
Bill Hughes's reading is gently abridged for dramatic purpose from the restructured version Dickens created for his own United States reading tour of 1867/1868, which included stops in New Haven and Hartford in 1868 with readings of A Christmas Carol.

S.T.A.R. PUPPY (5:00PM-5:50pm)
The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is an exciting program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start. The S.T.A.R. puppy program includes the following: basic puppy-raising information (jumping, house training, nipping...), basic obedience skills, how to better communicate and understand the language of dogs, and what is needed for responsible pet ownership. This program is designed for dogs less than 7 months in age who have not had any prior group experience.
TWEENER (6:00PM-6:50pm)
Is your dog 7 months or older and never attended a basic obedience class? Then this is the group class for you! The Tweener class will cover all basic obedience skills (including how to infuse these skills as part of everyday life), how to better communicate with and understand the language of dogs, and what is needed for responsible pet ownership.
*This is not a reactive dog class. Each dog needs to be privately evaluated by the instructor.
Basic Obedience 1 (5:00PM-5:50PM)
Has your dog completed the prerequisite class of either the S.T.A.R. Puppy or Tweener Class and you're looking for the next level of training? Then this is the group class for you! The Basic Obedience 1 class takes the skills learned in the Star Puppy / Tweener Class to the next level. We revisit all the skills you have learned - increasing difficulty and reliability of performance. This fun class uses games which support teaching our dogs good manners while having fun at the same time!!
Basic Obedience 2 (6:00PM-6:50PM)
If you have completed the prerequisite class Basic Obedience 1 and want to start preparing for the Canine Good Citizen class - then this is the group for you. This class focuses on enhancing your leash work skills, how to increase your dog's ability to follow cues with various levels of distractions, as well as how to start getting more behavior for less rewards. You will also learn how to teach your dog to listen to cues from a distance rather than just right in front of you.

S.T.A.R. PUPPY (5:00PM-5:50pm)
The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy is an exciting program designed to get dog owners and their puppies off to a good start. The S.T.A.R. puppy program includes the following: basic puppy-raising information (jumping, house training, nipping...), basic obedience skills, how to better communicate and understand the language of dogs, and what is needed for responsible pet ownership. This program is designed for dogs less than 7 months in age who have not had any prior group experience.
TWEENER (6:00PM-6:50pm)
Is your dog 7 months or older and never attended a basic obedience class? Then this is the group class for you! The Tweener class will cover all basic obedience skills (including how to infuse these skills as part of everyday life), how to better communicate with and understand the language of dogs, and what is needed for responsible pet ownership.
*This is not a reactive dog class. Each dog needs to be privately evaluated by the instructor.
Basic Obedience 1 (5:00PM-5:50PM)
Has your dog completed the prerequisite class of either the S.T.A.R. Puppy or Tweener Class and you're looking for the next level of training? Then this is the group class for you! The Basic Obedience 1 class takes the skills learned in the Star Puppy / Tweener Class to the next level. We revisit all the skills you have learned - increasing difficulty and reliability of performance. This fun class uses games which support teaching our dogs good manners while having fun at the same time!!
Basic Obedience 2 (6:00PM-6:50PM)
If you have completed the prerequisite class Basic Obedience 1 and want to start preparing for the Canine Good Citizen class - then this is the group for you. This class focuses on enhancing your leash work skills, how to increase your dog's ability to follow cues with various levels of distractions, as well as how to start getting more behavior for less rewards. You will also learn how to teach your dog to listen to cues from a distance rather than just right in front of you.

Join us for an annual tradition! Model trains are pulling into the station!
All aboard! Gallery 25 is celebrating the season with its special miniature railroad set up on tracks running through the gallery. This miniature railway is particularly appropriate since G25 is housed in a charming historic railroad building at 11 Railroad Street in New Milford. The miniature trains will run from December 20 to December 29. As the trains entertain visitors, the artwork will have them coming back for more.
