University Canine Learning Academy

It saddens me to announce that the UCLA Studio on Blakeley Street is officially closing on July 18th.

We opened our doors in 2008, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing individuals and their dogs in the intervening years.

We’re closing due to Covid -19 and the devastating effect it has had on small businesses like mine.

Thank you all for supporting UCLADogs, and please feel free to phone with any questions that you may have.

We will be offering Zoom classes starting in August and our free Thursday and Saturday meet-ups are ongoing. I will be working hard to open a new space in South Seattle when this pandemic is tamed, but until then stay safe and all the best to you and your families.

Thank you again,
Linda McVay, CCS CDW
Owner / Instructor

Vesper is trained in K9 nosework, but any dog can learn to hunt for their dinner with a little practice!

Vesper is a pretty accomplished cookie hunter. Here I've hidden a food toy with a couple of treats inside it. She has to search for a while to find it but she never gives up! Want to teach your dog this game? My guide to interactive feeding is a great resource! And it's FREE: https://temeritydogs.com/dump-the-dish/

All geared up for a doggo adventure! I have my basenji armor on :)

Interactive Feeding! A great way to keep your dogs busy when you're working from home.

Dump the Dish Dump the Dish is a guide to interactive feeding for canine enrichment. Give your dog something better than a bowl!

UCLA Dogs is **closed for all classes and drop-in groups**. We will provisionally reopen on the 21st. If you have any questions please send us an email.

Stay safe and healthy!

Hello humans and dogs! We are cancelling play groups tonight 3/3, and next week was a planned week off as well. See you soon!

We are excited to introduce Intermediate Urban Manners! This is the perfect class for helping you and your dog understand how to navigate everything from your own neighborhood or the farmer’s market to outdoor restaurants or even the airport! If you’ve ever sat at a cafe with your pup and wished he or she would just settle so you could finish your latte, this is the key 🙂

There will be NO PLAY GROUPS tonight. I am so sorry to do this, folks, but looking at the forecast for more snow starting this afternoon I think it’s the best choice! Have fun in the snow with your pups instead. 🛷⛷🥌

I miss all your dogs and puppies! Next week is a skip week so we will be back for play come hell or high water on January 28th!
