If you have previously taken a course with us, you do not need to submit a registration form unless it is for a different dog
*Completing this form does not guarantee placement in a training class

Because these are group classes, children are not allowed to attend - we do offer private training sessions if you would like your children to be involved. Each dog must have their own handler (one dog per person); disruptive dogs or dogs that pose a danger to the trainer or other dogs will be removed from class.
