Yes! We think it’s important for everyone involved in your dog’s training to understand the material, so training can remain consistent. While we encourage family members to attend class, only one handler is typically able to work with the dog at a time.
Unfortunately, no. If your dog is showing any signs of illness or has a communicable disease it is best that they stay at home. However, you can certainly attend class without your dog to ensure that you are still learning the information.
Unfortunately, if it is within 14 days of the session start date, or once the session has commenced, will not be eligible for a refund, as all sales are considered final at that point. However, you can certainly attend class without your dog to ensure that you are still learning the information.
Due to the structure of our classes, we are unable to offer make-up classes. We understand that unexpected situations may arise and while we do not offer refunds or make-up classes, our instructors will do their best to help you catch up on any missed material.
Due to the structure of our classes, our goals, and liability, we are unable to transfer your registration to another dog. Only dogs that were originally registered in class as able to attend. We understand that unexpected situations may arise and while we do not offer refunds or make-up classes, our instructors will do their best to help you catch up on any missed material. If possible, you can have a family member bring your dog to class.
We don’t often have to cancel or postpone classes, but in some instances of instructor illness where we are unable to find a replacement, or for outdoor classes in the event of extreme weather (thunderstorms, or excessive hot/cold temperatures) we may have to adjust the schedule. You will be notified of any changes to your class schedule. If we have to cancel a class, a new class date will be added.
General Information
Our training methods are designed to ensure success for both owners and dogs. We prioritize a comprehensive approach that begins with the implementation of management tools, incremental steps, and skill-building exercises to achieve effective behaviour modification. Our training methodology relies on the principles of reward-based positive reinforcement techniques. All our techniques are rooted in science-based and humane practices to achieve long-lasting results.
