Community Calendar

This class trains the human how to teach the dog. The theme of the program is control and enthusiasm. The ultimate goal is an attentive, enthusiastic dog, under complete control, that responds immediately and eagerly to all commands. The course is six weeks and will cover the basic obedience commands: watch me, leave it, heal, sit, down, stay, and come. Various training strategies will be covered in the course. The course will utilize the distraction of dogs and people to master the skills. This course is being taught by Denise Baxter. Denise is an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, a Pet Partners Evaluator, and an Alliance of Therapy Dogs Tester/Observer. Denise has been teaching dog obedience classes since 1997.

The Denim Day Fashion Show brings together Boise State University's Greek Life chapters in support of their chosen philanthropy, the WCA. Members from these chapters will take the runway as models for the evening, each bringing their own passion, creativity, and personal style to the show.

More than a fashion event, the runway becomes a platform for advocacy. Each look represents not only fashion and individuality, but also a shared commitment to raising awareness about sexual violence, supporting survivors, and strengthening the Boise community's dedication to education, prevention, and solidarity.

By blending fashion, community partnership, and advocacy, the Denim Day Fashion Show aims to create a powerful and memorable experience that inspires conversation, encourages learning, and reminds survivors that they are not alone.
