Picture Perfect Pets

More kindergarten teacher than drill sergeant, Bette Yip can teach pooches to do anything—sit; stay; scoop their own poop (we can dream, can’t we?). If Rover can’t make group classes—or hasn’t yet learned to play well with others—sign him up in advance for private lessons. After a few one-on-one sessions with Yip, he’ll be ready to fetch the paper and roll over like a pro. 9C Dudley Street Pl., Arlington, 617-966-4240, www.betteyip.com.
