CLASS POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
(Please Read Carefully
These policies and regulations are for the safety and well-being of owners/guardians/handlers, their dogs, other class members, other dogs, the general public, and the instructor. Class time is for you to learn how to teach your dog. Your dog learns by practicing at home. Many behavior problems diminish with obedience training. Although some behavior problems may be discussed in class, this is *not* a class to solve behavior problems. Because each situation is unique to the dog and owner, behavior problems are addressed in private sessions.
Please follow our instructions during class. We will try to work with each dog individually when introducing a new exercise. Please wait until we work with your dog before you begin working unless instructed otherwise. If we are not working with you, practice an exercise you have already learned. Wear comfortable clothing, but no sandals, flip-flops, or shorts. Shoes with low heels and rubber soles are best –tennis shoes are excellent. Any person who is dressed inappropriately will be asked to leave.
No food, drink (other than water for you or your dog), cell phone use, or smoking is permitted during class or around the training area. No one is permitted in class if there is evidence of alcohol or drug use.
Class attendance is important. If you know you will miss a class, please call us to let us know. Also, All family members are encouraged to practice the exercises at home. Children are welcome to observe during class but need to be under direct adult supervision at all times and must watch quietly. If children under 10 years old are attending class, then there needs to be two adults present. Children aged 12-18 participating in the class need to be accompanied by an adult who will be present during the entire class. Anyone who is disruptive will be asked to leave.
Please provide proof of vaccination. Puppies also need a negative fecal report. Female dogs that are in heat and dogs that are ill may not attend class. Illness includes coughing, nose or eye discharge, or sarcoptic mange. If your dog has been spayed or neutered, wait at least a week before returning to class. If your dog is generally very active and/or anxious, walk him or exercise him thoroughly *before* coming to class to tire him out a bit.
Make sure that your dog’s collar will not come off during class. It should be tight enough so it cannot slip over his ears. All dogs must be on a leash held by you at all times. No dog may be left unattended, left with another student, or tied up at any time. Please clean up after your dog. If your dog does eliminate during class, keep him in one area rather than moving him as he is going because it is easier to clean it up if it is in one place.
We reserve the right to charge a surcharge for hard to handle or fractious animals. Every attempt will be made to keep your pet happy,heathly and clean. At times this is not always possible.We will do everything possible to contact you in case of an emergency. We reserve the right to treat your pet medically if the need should arise.
