C&C PALS Resuming Group Basic Class! 
We are continuing to offer our IN-HOME BASIC training as well

The rules for the class (updated 5/17/21) are:
  1. Class size will be a maximum of FIVE dogs (this is 50% of our normal size class).  
  2. Only ONE person/dog is allowed to attend. No families. Starting with June 22, 2021 class, TWO people/dog can attend if BOTH people are vaccinated.
  3. Everyone must maintain a social distance of 6-feet and wear a mask at all times.
  4. Do Not attend class if you are experiencing any symptoms. Handouts will be given for missed classes.  One make-up class is allowed in a future class, only IF there is an open available slot.
  5. Class will start at 7 PM after the hospital is closed to minimize interaction with additional people.
  6. Only one person/dog team can ride the elevator at a time.

We hope that these restrictions will allow us to still have a fun class and keep everyone safe.

If you prefer not to do a group class, contact us now about in-home training. 
​
We hope you and your canine companion stay safe throughout this time.
