*Dogs must be comfortable being around other dogs and people. Excited and playful is normal behavior; lunging and aggression towards others is better worked on with a private training session before enrolling in a group class. Excessive barking that cannot be curbed by the instructor may result in removal from class and referral for private training. If you have questions as to whether your dog would be benefit from this class, we'd be happy to discuss.
**All dogs must be up to date on their vets schedule for Parvo/Distemper, Bordatella and Rabies
