Pending sessions: Please do not call or try to register if "Pending" is noted.
Refunds: There are no refunds unless a class is cancelled by BCE or HP&RA, so to help ensure a good class fit...
#1 New? Read Program Information then return to this Schedule page.
#2 Read class descriptions and pre-requisites (if any) by clicking on the class name link below for each offering.
#3 Read Trainer Information Form & Rules.
#4 Health Record Requirements:
Pets must have two DHLPP vaccines, a clear fecal check ideally dated within thirty days prior to class and a rabies vaccine if s/he is six months or older.
New Pet? To help avoid possible parvo or kennel cough at class, pets that are acquired within two weeks prior to class start should not attend class until the two week incubation period is over. If this applies to you and you do not want to wait for a future session, do register and attend the second class if necessary without your pet. You can observe the lessons and practice at home, your pet will be missed, but will do alright starting at class #3 if you have practiced at home. Thank you!
Do not take your Trainer Information Form and health record copies for my file to the BCE or HRC office.
#5 Read the Schedule - Scroll down to find your class and check your calendar.
New? Note six week Puppy or Obedience & Manners Level One classes are entry level.
Classes are color coded per paw prints on the schedule which follows below:
