• One dog per person
• There can be more than one person per dog... one person works the dog at a time & you can switch anytime during class (whenever it's wanted or needed). We want the whole family to learn!
• Please arrive 10 minutes early to potty your dog & get settled & ready to learn... it is not fair to your dog or the other students to arrive late & disrupt the class.
• Happy attitudes & smiling faces
• 3-5 different kinds of really motivating treats
• Clicker (we have them) & or marker word ("Yip!" works well)
• Comfortable clothes
• Flat closed-toes & closed-heeled shoes (tennis shoes work great)
• If your dog has not successfully completed a level, please take that level again until successful. The foundations need to be learned before going on.

The classes are all 6 weeks long, one hour a week. Fees vary according to location & amount of students in class (they are all small classes).

After reading the descriptions of the classes, if you are still not sure which class to take, please email or call & we will be glad to assist you!
