Free Dog Training & Behavior Seminar Aug 21 & Pet Deals

Boofy’s Best for Pets hosts a free dog training and behavior seminar on Saturday August 21, led by Angela Buckley of Positive Rewards Dog Training. Buckley is a certified dog trainer and certified veterinary assistant, and the seminar includes:

• How to keep your dog active and happy when you’re out
• Fun things to do with your pet
• Plants and foods that are poisonous to pets
• Your pet questions answered

• When: Saturday August 21, 2010
• Time: 11 am – 2 pm
• Where: Boofy’s Best for Pets, 8201 Golf Course RD NW (in Petroglyph Plaza at Golf Course & Paseo Del Norte)
• Price: Free!

If you want to sign up for a basic dog obedience class with Buckley, for pooches 5 months and older with no former training, those classes start September 16 and cost $100 for six weeks. Not a bad price compared to the cost of replacing the couch that Fido devoured. I wonder if she can answer my questions about husband training/behavior/obedience too?

We’ve mentioned these Boofy’s Best for Pets deals before, but as a reminder:

Yappy Hour and Doggie MeetUp
Dogs come out to play and meet their canine chums, play in the dog toy area, and enjoy some Yappetizers – that’s free dog treats! During Yappy Hour all purchases of treats for dogs OR cats get 10% off.

• When: Tuesdays ongoing
• Time:  6 pm – 8 pm
• Where: Boofy’s Best for Pets

Boofy’s Best for Pets coupons These coupons (via Valpak) save you:

$10 off at Aeropostale Stores till August 31

$10 off when you spend $50 or more on Aéropostale clothing until August 31, 2010. The $10 off coupon is valid in-store only, not for any online purchases. But if you’re planning to drop in to Aéropostale to shop for women’s or men’s casual kit or jeans, that gives you a 20% saving on a $50 purchase.

Here’s where to get your Aéropostale $10 off coupon. It’s from the Coronado Center store, but the wording on the coupon says it’s redeemable at Aéropostale stores in the US, so it’s worth trying at the Cottonwood Mall location too.

It’s valid till August 31, 2010, but you can’t use it in the P.S. from Aéropostale stores for kids clothes – this offer is only for clothing for grown up guys and gals!

It’s also not good for purchases of more than 50 items in a single day. G-u-l-p. If we could afford to buy 50 items in a day, we probably wouldn’t need a $10 off Aéropostale coupon to begin with, would we?

$1 off the New Double Chili Cheeseburgers at Wienerschnitzel with this coupon good to July 31. (Yeah, I’m sorry, that’s how they spell it. It’s actual chili as opposed to actual chile. I expect it’s still very nice.) Thanks to Editor at Large Ron for the tip.

$15 bottles of wine at Vivace Nob Hill On Monday and Tuesday nights, Vivace serves 15 different wines at just $15 a bottle. Fittingly for the Italian restaurant, wines on offer are from Italy, and from California too!

• Three for two tapas on Tuesdays
• Half priced burgers on Wednesdays

Free Coca~Cola brand soft drink at Waffle House with this coupon expiring June 15. (Scroll down a bit to see it.) Dine in only, one coupon per customer per visit. (So I guess you can take it in several times if you’re a frequent Waffler.) Thanks to our mother ship Cities on the Cheap for the tip.

Wine Down Thursdays take place through July 29th at the Downtown Crossroads Mall and onto the Hyatt Regency patio. Sadly, the wine isn’t free (or if it is, someone should tell me about it PRONTO!) but the event includes live music, plus food, arts and crafts vendors, and it sounds like a fun food and wine event. It’s from 4:30 to 7:30 pm on Thursdays.

Note: Not all locations may be participating in all offers – call ahead if you want to be sure.
