Does your dog meet all of these requirements? If yes, fill out the form below to schedule a meet and greet with us to see if your pup would enjoy our program!
Vaccinations
We do require all dogs to be current on vaccinations (rabies, DHPP, bordetella) and you will need to provide proof upon acceptance of your dog into our program.
Dog Social
Dogs who attend the Academy will be working in small groups with other dogs. They must be comfortable sharing space and working around dogs. They do not have to be social butterflies, but they must be dog tolerant. Dogs that come to the Academy are here to have fun, positive experiences. If your dog does not enjoy working alongside othes, please inquire about our private tutor sessions!
fixed
We do require our students to be altered.
Males must be neutered by 7 months, females must be spayed prior to their first heat or immediately afterwards to attend classes. If a female goes into heat while they are at the Academy, we will notify you and ask you to pick her up. Once she is spayed she is welcome to return.
Unfortunately we are unable to make exceptions.

bus behavior
If your dog will be riding on the bus, they must display cooperative behavior toward the other dogs, be able to share a seat and travel in close proximity to other dogs. Dogs are harnessed in for safety. Excessive barking or reactive behavior while riding may be cause to discontinue transportation services.
