Does my dog need prior training to attend this class?
Yes.
This class is designed for dogs with some basic training already under their belt. All training should be based in positive reinforcement.
At minimum your dog should be comfortable working in the vicinity of other dogs and understand “Sit” and “Down”.
Experience using a Marker Word and/or Clicker in training is an asset, but not essential.
If your unsure if your dog is ready for this class please send us an email.
How many dogs are in a class? How many instructors?
Class sizes maximum is 4 dogs. One certified professional dog trainer leads this class.
Each dog has a personal working space of approximately 200 square feet PLUS a buffer zone between them and the next family.
We may use physical and/or visual barriers to help set the dogs up for success.
What vaccinations does my dog need to have to attend class?
DAPP/DHPP and Rabies
Dogs must be fully up to date on all standard vaccines. We encourage families to vaccinate against bordetella, but do not require it.
Proof of DAPP/DHPP and rabies vaccination or titers is required.
Can my reactive dog attend group classes? What is a reactive dog?
No. Reactive dogs will be dismissed from attending group classes.
Reactive dogs may be better described as “over-reactive” in regular language. A “reactive” dog may lunge, bark at, growl, or otherwise unfavourably respond to the presence of certain triggers (most commonly other dogs or strangers). Some reactive dogs are fearful of their triggers while others are overly excited.
We hope to offer options for reactive dogs in the future, however, at this time we will have to dismiss reactive dogs that are causing disruptions to others.
Dogs that may bark once or twice at another dog nearby but is able to quickly be redirected and quieted by their handler are welcome (provided the handler uses force free redirection and does not use “corrections”). What we cannot allow are dogs that bark for prolonged periods throughout class which interrupts class instruction and/or disturbs the training of other dogs in the class.
Note that our regular refund policy applies to reactive dogs and once a family has started classes we cannot offer refunds in the event that a dog is not a good fit for group classes due to reactivity. We do, however, encourage humans of that family continue to attend classes without the reactive dog to watch, learn, and ask questions.
