| Thank you for your interest in our school. Our emphasis on a happy relationship between dog and owner, free from fear or harsh methods, has made Training with Kindness classes the most highly recommended in the area. Drop in and see for yourself what fun dog training can be! Strictly limited in size, classes fill long before the starting date. Register early to be sure of getting the class most convenient for you. |
| PLEASE be realistic about your ability and willingness to commit to working with your dog every day. Training your dog is an on-going process - not just 10-15 minutes a day. |
| Please
bring a fanny pack or treat bag to classes filled with delicious soft
treats for rewarding good behavior. Flexi-leads are not allowed in class. |
| If you have a dog-aggressive dog, please contact Cheryl before sending in the registration form. |
| Children over 12 years of age can work their dog in class as long as they can physically control the dog on a leash. They may also attend class as a visitor if accompanied by an adult and watch quietly from the ringside seats. |
