Is My Dog Ready For Class - Health & Well Being . . .    

• Your dog or puppy does need to be healthy and free from any parasites or contagious diseases. They must have their first set of shots.  Older dogs must be current on vaccines.  When you hit SUBMIT on your registration you are attensting to this fact.

• If your dog has diarrhea, is lethargic, has an injury or is vomiting, coughing, or sneezing they SHOULD NOT attend class - Check with your Veterinarian immediately.

• Dogs should be up to date on vaccinations or have been Titer tested.  Please do not bring your dog to class on the same day they get a vaccine as they may not be feeling in tip-top shape and ready to pay attention.
