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. All modules and building blocks run for 4 consecutive weeks, most allow you to attend two sessions per week and cost $125, with discounts available for signing up for multiple sessions. Other class/workshop prices vary.
  We accept credit cards thru Paypal's secure server- no membership is required (we do pass along transaction & bank fees; currently this is $7.00 per charge). You may also pay via cash or check, 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 Adult Beginners and Puppy Kindergarten classes, or your first night attending a Beginner Obedience Module; 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 session 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.
  Because of the flexibility and value of our obedience modules and building blocks- registrants are allowed to attend up to 8 one hour sessions during each four week module- makeups are not available for missed sessions.

• 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.
