Pet Dog Class Information
Due to the Coronavirus, all classes at the training facility will be cancelled until April 7th. At that time we will reassess.
Class fees are not refundable once the class has begun. Dogs that are reactive or fearful may get a partial refund of unattended classes if they are unsuited to our group class environment. Because class fees are not refundable once your class starts, do not enroll until you are certain that the class will suit your needs. Visitors are welcome. Questions?
