Meet the Chocolate Maker, A Chocolate Tasting Event

Saturday, September 15
2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Pup Plaza (14408 Union Ave, San Jose)

Did you know fine chocolate is like fine wine? From fruity to earthy, floral to warm spices, join fine chocolate maker Todd Oliver as he takes us on a world tour of rare chocolate.

Our journey begins with a brief tour of the early history of cacao, and what differentiates ‘fine’ cacao from bulk chocolate. As a follow up, we will walk through the process of bean-to-bar chocolate making. You’ll experience taking roasted cocoa beans in your hand and hearing the ‘crack’ of the bean, enjoying the taste of the nib. As Todd shares some of his favorite chocolates, you’ll become versed in how to taste and judge chocolate for yourself. As a take home gift, you’ll have the opportunity to take a bar of your favorite chocolate home with you. We promise you’ll never see chocolate the same! 
 
All event proceeds support the life-saving work of Silicon Valley Pet Project.
This class is for humans only!

$20/person

This series is appropriate for dogs of all ages and breeds, but is not appropriate for dogs with reactive behavior. Need help with that? Ask us for a referral to a private trainer!

Paint Your Pet

Location: Pup Plaza
14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124

Join us to create your own, one-of-a-kind acrylic pet portrait on canvas, done in a colorful style inspired by American Pop Artist Andy Warhol. No artistic experience is necessary!

We begin with a short lesson about painting techniques with 3 different brush types. Then, we'll walk you through each step of the process - from transferring your pet's image to the canvas with graphite, to painting the background, to painting the main features of your pet, to the final finishing details. We will use vibrant, non-toxic acrylic paints. All art materials and light refreshments will be provided.

Class fee: $45

Join us for Doga at Pup Plaza, Silicon Valley's first dog community center!

Your Doga instructor will guide you and your pup through a 60-minute yoga practice and provide moments throughout the class for you to bond, reward, and breathe with your dog.  

You will be encouraged to share your energy with your dog and explore the natural bond that exists between you and your canine best friend.  Doga will provide you an opportunity to learn from your dog how to be in the present and have fun, while our dogs may pick up the calm and focus of our practice, eventually becoming more relaxed and comfortable with sharing a space with others.

Levels-Based Dog Training
Thursday February 13th, 2020 6:30 PM until 08:00 PM
Location: Pup Plaza
14408 Union Avenue San Jose CA 95124

Sign up for our new and improved levels-based training class! 

Move through the levels at your dog's speed and at your schedule's convenience!  We'll focus on positive reinforcement-based training and setting your dog up for success, allowing for a more harmonious relationship with your pooch!  

Start with Introduction to Training and learn about how we'll train, what to expect, and how best to allow your dog to learn. After that, you'll progress to Level One, where you'll practice basic behaviors like "sit" and "come" while laying the foundation for having a polite walking partner. Once you and your pooch have mastered those behaviors, you'll move on to Level Two to practice "down,” "stay,” and "leave it.”

This series is appropriate for dogs of all ages and breeds, but is not appropriate for dogs with reactive behavior. Need help with that? Ask us for a referral to a private trainer!

How To Enroll:

  1. Purchase a package to enjoy five classes for the price of four. Purchase package for $100 here. Classes available for individual registration at $25 per class.
  2. Complete the required Training Questionnaire.
  3. Register for Introduction to Training. Classes held Thursdays at 6:30 pm (Humans only for this first session).
