Pets must have two distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvo (DHPP) 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 per MI law.
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!
