How it Works
Classes meet once a week for four consecutive weeks for roughly 1 hour per session. Each week will start with a supervised play session within a fenced yard. The day’s lesson is then demonstrated. Next, my assistant and I oversee you working individually with the pup. Homework is emailed after each session.
Classes are intended for puppies 4 months to 1 year, though older, puppy-friendly dogs will be admitted on an individual basis. Sick dogs and females in heat should not be brought to class. You, however, are welcome to come and observe. Classes are kept very small to maximize individual attention.
We will meet indoors or out depending on the weather, so please dress accordingly. Children who are not too distracting are welcome—their supervision is your responsibility. As it is crowded indoors, on bad weather days no more that two people per dog can be accommodated. * Age appropriate vaccinations are required.
What to Bring
All dogs should arrive at class on a 4 to 6 foot cloth or leather leash and a conventional buckle-type collar. For safety sake, the puppies drag a leash while playing. If the leash getting dirty would bother you, bring 2 leashes. Please have him/her on lead before exiting the car. Some small dogs and those with delicate tracheas may require a harness. There is no need to buy anything special prior to the first class, but bring any additional collars, halters, etc. that you already own with you. I may recommend you purchase training equipment, and some supplies will be for sale. I’ll provide water, treats and toys and you are welcome to bring your own. No choke collars or flexi-leads.
Cancellation, Return/Refund Policy
If you drop out of the course and notify me within 24 hours of the first class, your prorated tuition will be refunded minus a $20 cancellation fee. Beyond that notification date, a class credit only will be issued for one year. * Inappropriate dogs - or people - will be asked to leave. Your prorated tuition will be returned as well. Class credit is not applicable to house calls.
*The make-up policy is only for dogs that are puppy-friendly. I reserve the right to withdraw this offer on days where the numbers get out of whack.
Registration: Tuition is $140 if Prepaid or $180 at the First class.
