Late arrivals within reason are allowed - we live in NYC right? However, the session must end at the same time if there is another pup scheduled in the next appointment slot.
Late arrivals for group classes may have to find their own way to the class location. Try to call ahead if running late or to find us.
Aggressive Dogs
All dogs must be friendly to be in group classes.
Please let me know if there is any history of aggression to humans or other dogs before class begins because there may be more appropriate training possibilities I can offer.
Aggressive, overly loud dogs will be asked to attend private training sessions rather than group classes.
All dogs can be aggressive, it’s absolutely fine, let’s work together!
