Class Registration Policies: PLEASE READ!
The policies listed on the following pages are designed to create a fun, safe and effective learning environment for you and for your dog. Please familiarize yourself with our policies so you will be prepared to start learning right away.
See you in class!
WOOFS! uses reward-based clicker training in all classes. This modern training technique helps you train your dog efficiently and with lasting results.
WOOFS! does not use any force or intimidation in training. If you are looking for a traditional style of training, or are opposed to using food to motivate your dog, our classes will not be a good fit for you.
REGISTRATION: You can register for all classes online. Payment is due before we can reserve your place in a class.
MISSED CLASSES: Please plan to attend all of your scheduled classes. In order to provide the best possible service, make up classes are not available. Please see your instructor to get information on what you will miss. If you know you will miss more than two classes in a session we recommend registering for a different class session.
