Group Class Policies
•Refunds and transfers will not be made after the first class.
•Dogs who are aggressive or obsessive barkers may be asked to participate in private lessons or classes
specific to that need. We want everyone to get the most out of their experience at Pups Play and Stay.
Some dogs may be better able to learn in a private situation.
•Children are welcomed. However, they will need to stay beside you or seated with quite activates. This
is for their safety for we may not know how all dogs will act around children. Children that are disruptive
to class will not be able to attend.
•One adult should handle the dog during class. Friends, spouses and other adult family members may
quietly sit in the audience and observe so that they will be familiar with the training program and will be
better able to practice at home with your dog.
•Dogs not registered for class will not be permitted in training session unless provisions made with
trainer, and cleared prior to class.
•Get to class a few minutes early to give the dog ample opportunity to relieve himself outdoors. Clean up
after your dog when he relieves himself outdoors.
