To hold a spot, register and pay with Brighton Community Education (BCE) OR with Howell Parks & Recreation Authority (HP&R) depending on location.
Both offices are closed on some holidays and school breaks. On line registration is usually available during those times.
Pending sessions: Classes will be advertised as 'Pending' for planning purposes.
Refunds: There are no refunds unless a class is cancelled by BCE or HP&RA, so to help ensure a good class fit...
Before registering, please follow Steps #1 - #6:
#1 Read Program Information then return to this Schedule page.
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.
Check your calendar. If you must miss more than one Obedience & Manners - Level One class, but an adult household member can attend class(es) as an observer guest of yours and fill in for you - sign up!
