Outdoor Group Classes

WE ARE HERE FOR “YOU & FidO” YEAR-ROUND and ALL OUR GROUP CLASSES ARE “LIVE & IN-PERSON” and ARE ALL OPEN-ENROLLMENT!!!

RufFlOvers Outdoor Adventures (aka ROA)

All Outdoor Adventures/Classes will resume in 2024! (Dates TBA)

Current Outdoor Group Training Offerings:

“RufFlOvers Outdoor Adventures” is a NEW WEEKLY MEET-UP GROUP STARTING TUESDAY EVENINGS @ 7:00PM for enjoying outdoor activities w/your dog. To join our “RufFlOvers Outdoor Adventures” Group Classes you MUST be a current or prior client or receive personal approval from Alice Marino before Registering!

About the Training:

  • We will be meeting at different locations Tuesday evenings on Staten Island. 
  • We will do various drill-work, group sniffaris, walks, manners, meet n greets, socialization w/each other for the dogs and the humans as well.
  • Only one handler per dog @ a time but you can change off among your family/group. The rest will observe when not working directly w/the dog and hang back if we’re walking as to not confuse the dogs or handlers. 
  • We might meet at the Boardwalk one week, Clove Lake Park, Gateway National Park, Fort Wadsworth & many other locations to be announced. 
  • You will sign-up for 4 consecutive classes (which MUST be completed within 5 consecutive classes if necessitated & approved by Alice only) however, if the weather is inclement (ie. raining (not a light drizzle), too cold, too hot or humid to be safe) we will just move the class to the following date and add a date on at the end.
