The Pierce College Equestrian Center may lack horses, but the nightlife is thriving thanks to some canine students. There is no shortage of treats and wagging tails on Monday and Wednesday nights.
Dogs and their owners train together under professional dog trainer Laurie Burnam.
Burnam teaches Dog Obedience Training and Beginning Agility Training classes as part of the school’s Extension Community Education program.
