HEAVEN
ON ARF GROUP CLASS SCHEDULES
|
Classes fill very quickly, we can only reserve a spot for those who have sent in their registration fee. We limit the size of the class so that appropriate attention and assistance can be given to each student. If your dog has displayed aggression toward other dogs or humans, please email us a note explaining the circumstances. If we can not determine if it is normal "puppy play" we can schedule a private session for evaluation and for assistance with that behaviour. If you would like to audit a class please email us for directions. Classes are one night a week for 6 weeks.
