IMPORTANT INFORMATION *

Missed appointments without prior notice will result in the forfeiture of that session, as our trainers often make special arrangements for your training. We appreciate your understanding. Please note that children under 15 are not permitted at transfer sessions. Training dogs requires a certain level of skill, patience, and maturity, which younger children may find challenging. However, once you’ve mastered the techniques, you’ll be able to teach them at home!
