School For The Dogs

Meet Amos, a Yorkiepoo(dle) and a working dog.

Amos is on vacance in Paris for a few days, but mostly you can find him monitoring dog training classes at SCHOOL FOR THE DOGS in NYC. Yes, he sits at a desk wearing a coat that says 'Principal' (see Instagram pic) and makes sure the other dogs behave...ahem

His mom, Anna Jane Grossman, formerly fulltime journalist now dog trainer was lucky enough to get an invite from Amos to accompany him to Paris

Amos minding his Ps and Qs at café Le Select. This guy knows the ropes and doesn't miss a trick. All the Dos and Don'ts.

I was a little surprised when he ordered a croquet Madame but who am I to question this brainy little critter...

Croque Madame - that's a very cheesy croque Monsieur with a fried egg on top.

Amos performs a few of the tricks up his sleeve after eating his dejeuner like waving...

Sit up!

Play dead!

One of the fun aspects of School For The Dogs is iPad play. Pets learn to paint (abstract mostly - no live models sadly).

The dogs take 'Selfies' like this adorb photo Amos took with a gentle tap of his nose to the screen. No wonder SFTD got written up in the Wall Street Journal!

Anna Jane Grossman is one lucky duck to work for Amos at SFTD isn't she? Trips to Paris now and then make awfully nice perks I'd say...

Dans la rue Amos practices his French and makes friends in no time at all. If you live in NYC, do check out SCHOOL FOR THE DOGS if your pet could brush up on his manners (and who couldn't?). If you're bringing your pet to Paris what about an onsite portrait?
