Children ages 6-12 years can learn proper table manners and positive pet interactions, all in one class! Students will go over dining Etiquette with Erica Jade Goldsmith, then go onto the Pet-iquette portion with Tracy Love and a foster dog. We will practice ordering off the menu (spaghetti noodles with choice of marinara, alfredo, or butter) and how to properly eat pasta. After dinner, we will focus on polite, pawsitive interactions with the dog and creating a small work of art. 

Please note any allergies within your child’s registration. Children with a dog allergy are not encouraged to participate. 

Special thanks to our friends at Valley Catering, the Humane Society of Parkersburg, and HSOP foster dog. Go to www.hsop.org for fostering and adoption opportunities!
