For each and every dog in class I MUST have proof of CURRENT NECESSARY vaccinations:
Three DHLPP and Rabies for puppies
An annual Parvo and Rabies for older dogs.
I would also suggest that your dog have the Bordetella Intranasal flu vaccine, because of the class playtime.
** You can register for a class with a puppy who has NOT completed ALL shots, as long as they will be complete BY the first class **.
No bitches in heat may come to class without wearing some type of panty. If you miss class because your female is in heat, and you choose to not put panties on your female, I do not offer any make ups, refunds or transfers. For the safety of all the dogs you may not take your female in heat out to play with other dogs before class.
Dogs that are aggressive to other dogs or people are NOT allowed in group training classes. Failure to disclose this will result in expulsion from class with NO refund or exchange. I reserve the right to excuse any dog whom I deem dangerous.
For the safety and comfort of all, please follow these rules while you are in class.
If you open any gate on the property, please close it behind you!
PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE OVER 5 MPH ON CYPRESS TRAIL. No Exceptions.
