Helping your pet become socially acceptable
Have you ever taken a brand new puppy on its first walk, or to a dog park with other dogs? This can sometimes be a difficult undertaking, seeing as puppies have yet to be exposed to many humans and animals in their young life. But dogs and cats need to develop social skills just as much as people do! It is important for an animal’s health and well-being to become a socially acceptable pet.

Transitions to the future
The Cave Creek Unified School Board has recently approved the sale of their Cave Creek school site which is located on the corner of Schoolhouse Rd. and E. Cave Creek Rd. This site is currently occupied by Career Success Schools – Cave Creek.
The administration and faculty of Career Success Schools want to assure our students, parents and the community that we will continue to operate and provide services to our students at this site for the 2009-2010 school year. At this time we are not interested in purchasing this property but we have full intentions of relocating the Career Success Schools – Cave Creek to a new location in the northeast valley. We are currently looking for a land site or a property to lease and as more information is available we will be keeping our stakeholders and the community informed.
We want to thank our students and parents for their support during this time of transition and we assure them that we will continue our commitment to maintain our diverse, supportive, exemplary learning environment.
