From time to time, Longsnouts likes to add a focused workshop to the calendar to
WORKSHOPS:
Traditionally, we've hosted one-off workshops for topics we find interesting, relevant, and, yes, FUN! For autumn 2023, we're taking that approach, but dedicating weekly time: Sundays at 1:00pm. Check out the calendar or the weekly logistics email (for class participants) to see what's upcoming.
Already planned are: recalls (beg/int, int/adv), shed hunt, strength & conditioning, and more. Anything you'd like to see? Drop us a note.
Weekly workshops can be purchased one at a time or you can save a little money, using a 'punch' on your Play card.
DogNerd Bookclub.
Every 2-3 months, we choose a book, then schedule a time to chat about it! Casual meeting to expand our knowledge of the animal we love.
Next book: Dogs are From Neptune, by Jean Donaldson
We'll meet in May sometime! Interested in joining, drop us a note and we'll add you to the list.

INTERNATIONAL PARKOUR DAY - Save the Date!
June 14, 2025 from 11:00am-1:00pm
🔥 INAUGURAL PARKOUR DAY IS COMING SOON – TIME TO GET RAD WITH YOUR DOG
Forget the same old walks—we’re turning the city into an obstacle course. Jumps, climbs, perching —if you and your dog can conquer it, it’s fair game.
Longsnouts is partnering with the International Dog Parkour Association to bring this no-cost, all-energy event to Ann Arbor. No experience needed—just bring the doggo (and some snacks).
📅 When: Saturday, June 13 | 11 AM – 1 PM
📍 Where: Secret downtown location (we’ll DM you after RSVP)
🎯 No fluff, just action: Trainer on-site, urban challenges, and zero pressure. Just show up and move.

MONTHLY MEETUPS - they're coming back!
Now that spring is nearly upon us, we're adding our Monthly Meetups back to the calendar! Free for all to attend, as long as you're willing to follow our guidelines. Fantastic practice for all levels of dogs; we're happy to give you the space or time you need.
The last Tuesday of every month, we meet at 6:00pm. We will either go for a group walk or have a chillout - either is great practice! RSVP here.
Weather issues? We will walk if the weather is above freezing (32 F) and *not* raining or heavy snow. RSVPs are required; there is a 10 person/dog limit. You don not have to be a Longsnouts client to join, however, this is not a "class." Pack Walks are a place to practice and Hannah will likely have one of her #PermaDogs in attendance for their own practice and unable to advise or lend a hand.
