Example: Start Date is 1/12, make-up opportunity ends 4/12. Basic-I can make up classes on either Wednesday or Saturday Basic-I. Basic-II Moderate can make-up on Tuesday evening or Saturday AM, etc.

GUIDELINES FOR SAFETY & PEACE OF MIND

ALL TEAMS, please be considerate & enter the sanctuary (double doors) with dogs on leash (no flexi-leads). Explore, be pro-active and aware of your surroundings. Take a deep breath, and be your pup/dog’s advocate. Most dogs & humans have a spatial bubble. RESPECT IT until you get to know each other. Adopted dogs must be assessed before joining a group class.

Pups as young as 3-months are accepted into Basic-I training, with approval from their Primary Veterinarian. All dogs must be healthy and have wellness checks, especially in an environment where there will be multiple dogs & families.

Socialization precedes classes, then flows into warm-ups, centering and training. Puppies have 15-20 minutes to engage with other pups/dogs in a safe, supervised environment. These essential interactions teach communication skills (calming signals). Calm, but assertive observation can be an enjoyable learning experience for humans and dogs.

Be mindful that dogs are dogs! There is no guarantee of a positive dog-meet-dog iinteraction

They need to be introduced in a broad range of surroundings while being guided by their pack leader (you). Our "energy flow" makes a difference. Signals and cues from other dogs changes the dynamics and response too.
