COVID-19 Protocol

Safety is our Priority

Due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation, with a variety of facts and factors, we have restructured some of our Entry-level classes. This will help reduce the number of students entering the building and allow us time to meet the demand of students needing classes. As the situation changes, we will be sure to update students with the most recent recommendations.

Masks

Masks are REQUIRED at check-in at your first class, and are requested to be worn during breaks, during cross-traffic exercises, and when entering or leaving the building. Once you have reached your work area, you may choose to unmask if you wish. Social distancing is appreciated. Please be considerate of others that ARE wearing masks in class. Instructors are not wearing masks while teaching, as there is a significant area for social distancing.

Class Format

Most entry level class offerings are now a blend of emails interspersed with ‘in-person’ classes. We have also set up a special Facebook group for our puppy class students, which will offer discussions and extra support during the class schedule.
Our continued priority for classes are those aimed at the PUPPY class level, which allows medium to large breeds up to 10 months of age. Smaller breeds can range a little older. There is a limited window of opportunity to create good puppy habits, which can never be regained, so we wish to get those good habits started early. We have reduced our allowable number of students in these classes to 10 or less. This does allow one additional family member (per puppy) as an alternate handler if necessary. We apologize for these restrictions.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these unprecedented times.

Stay safe,

Val
