There will be a minimum of 4 dogs in a class with a maximum of 8 or the number specified by the instructor.  Should a class not reach the minimum limit, it will be necessary to cancel the class or at the instructor’s discretion.  If a class is canceled, all enrollment money will be refunded.  We try to keep the number of participants in a class small so as to give everyone personal attention.

No harsh or abusive training will be allowed. We use toys, treats and praise in our training.
