Policies

We require a behavioral evaluation form and vaccination records for every dog no less than 24 hours before their scheduled appointment. The forms will be emailed to you and can be emailed back. This is part of our assessment process and included in your consultation, but we also need it to ensure the safety and health of all our participants.
Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and no-shows are subject to a $25 rebooking fee.
Make-up sessions for missed classes: $30 each.

Boarding

$40 per day for each dog
Basic Stay/Train: $60 per day per dog
Behavior Stay/Train: $80 per day per dog
Aggression Stay/Train: $150 per day per dog

Since our classes are limited to four dogs, everyone gets individual attention unlike most group classes. It also allows you and your dog to learn more in less overall time.
All courses require a $50 non-refundable deposit to hold your place, except for single classes which require payment in full. If you enroll two dogs, we require one dog's full tuition. This will be applied to the total cost of the class. Deposits are due no later than two weeks before the first class. Classes with less than three participants will be postponed until the minimum number of participants are signed up and deposits are received.
