Class Requirements for Canine Basics Class

These are the rules & regulations for anyone who wants to join this class. Please read through these carefully.  Please note that we do not give refunds for a class once the class has started.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Dogs joining this class should be ready to learn! Dogs with aggression issues should be evaluated first. (See #7 below) 

2) Puppies must be at least 20 weeks of age (5 months) before joining class & proof should be shown to the instructor(s) at the first class.  Your dog should have all the vaccinations required by your veterinarian. (This usually consists of at least two sets of vaccinations, sometimes three. Puppies normally receive four sets of vaccinations by the time they are 20 weeks, i.e., 5 months of age.)

3) All dogs must be fully vaccinated & proof should be shown to the instructor(s) at the first class. This includes the following vaccinations: Distemper, Parvovirus & Rabies. (It is not mandatory but it is highly recommended that your dog is treated every 28-30 days with a flea & tick prevention such as Frontline or Advantage.)

4) All dogs must be on a 4 or 6-foot leash (no Flexi® or retractable leashes are allowed) at all times during class unless your instructor tells you otherwise. The leash must be attached to a no-slip collar that fits your dog appropriately--We sell these collars should you need one--you can purchase them here, at Petco, Petsmart or Canine Commissary . . . or you can purchase them from your trainer in class for $8 each.

5) You must bring an ample amount of poop-bags for any necessary clean-up & you must clean-up after your dogs when necessary & dispose of it properly.

6) You should bring water & a bowl for your dog to have a refreshment & thirst quencher.  You also will need extremely yummy treats & your dog's favorite toy (or toys).  We recommend Natural Balance Food Rolls as a treat as well as chicken, hot dogs & cheese.  For classes high value treats are a must!

7) Dogs with behavior problems need to be evaluated by one of our instructors prior to joining a class. An instructor will help you choose a program to solve any behavior problems & then direct you to a class that is suited for you & your dog.
