Dog Obedience Class by Mako Jacobs
Olive Crest will be the site of a new class that will begin on
January 14th at 7:00 p.m. The class is an outreach to
our community's dogs and their families. Mako Jacobs will be teaching
a basic obedience class that will run every Tuesday for eight weeks.
Mako is a Special Education teacher at Adams Elementary School. She
has trained a professional therapy dog, which is also a certified
service dog that goes to "work" every day with her. Mako has also
been teaching basic obedience for the past two years. Recently she
became a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluator through the American
Kennel Club.
The class will focus on proper manners that will make the family dog
a well-behaved and obedient member of the family. A well-mannered dog
is a joy to live with and expands the opportunities in which the dog
can be with their "owner".
Mako will be donating a portion of the class fee to the daycare. Mako
and her husband, Rick, have four children that love going to school
because of the positive experiences that they have had at our daycare.
Mako will be using the remaining money to fund a trip to Mobile,
Alabama in which she will be learning more about service dogs, using
therapy dogs, and other issues relating to those living with
disabilities. She will be evaluating dogs hoping to earn their CGC and
presenting her research on using a therapy dog in the
school/classroom.
