Group Class Information Sheet/Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Please take the time to read thru this thoroughly prior to contacting us with questions...thank you
- Puppy Kindergarten & Adult Beginners classes are
6 wks long and the cost is $160; other class/workshop prices
vary. We accept credit cards thru Paypal's secure server
(no membership required); you may also pay via cash or check
(there is a $10 discount for doing so!), please make checks
payable to Canine University.
- All courses and workshops are taught using operant conditioning through the use of Clicker Training
- Full payment is required with application in order to
reserve a place for your dog. If paying by credit card you
will need to attach a copy of the confirmation email you'll
receive from Paypal as proof of payment. Upon receipt of
your registration, payment & proof of vaccinations, we will
call to confirm your space in class.
- NO DOGS the first night of beginner classes, for all other classes your
dog should attend all sessions. Beginner class size is limited to 12 dogs
or less; other classes/workshop enrollments vary and are listed on our SCHEDULE
- Shots required to participate in any class or workshop include Distemper,
Parvovirus, Rabies, and Canine Cough (Bordetella).
Puppies must have started their vaccinations according to your veterinarian's
recommendation. It is fine to start Puppy Kindergarten etc so long as you bring in their shot record as it's updated.
Adult Dogs should be current on all shots.
A photocopy, which we keep on file, of proof of vaccinations must be
supplied with your registrtion to be accepted...by the first night of class
at the latest. The receipt from your veterinarian may serve to indicate
what shots you dog is current on, others practices provide a letter or form
such as is used for kenneling.
- If you miss a class you can make it up with any other scheduled class
within 6 months. We will mail out the homework for that week if you leave
us a message requesting it. We can also supply you with the homework for
planned abscences in advance if you ask.
- Anyone who is interested in training the dog is welcome to come to
class, but young children should be supervised by someone other than the
person training the dog.
- Canine University's beginner classes (puppy kindergarten & adult
beginners) cover the same material and are broken up by ages for reasons of convenience. If your dog is on the border of a few weeks you needn't worry about which class to attend, just sign up for the one convenient to your schedule.
- You should walk your dog prior to entering the training center, even if
they just went before you left the house, you may save yourself some
scrambing if they have an 'accident' inside the training center. There is
a small bathroom area for your dog between our building & Atlas Auto (on your right when driving in). There is also a grassy area to your left as you first enter the business park from
Winter St. Please be considerate of our neighbors and local residents by
cleaning up after your dog; there are plenty of baggies just inside our
door. We also ask that you be responsible and prevent them from soiling any
common areas, doorways, cars, etc.
