Vaccinations

All dogs must be up to date with their regular vaccination schedule (including distemper, rabies, bordetella, and parvovirus. You must provide proof of vaccination prior to the start of the first class. For fully vaccinated dogs a titers test is also accepted.

Health

Please do not bring your dog to class if it is not well or is in heat. Diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy or other changes in health or behaviour should be addressed by a veterinarian before your dog attends class.

Cancellation

If the minimum enrolment for a class is not met prior to the session the class may be cancelled or rescheduled. In the event of a cancellation you may enrol in the rescheduled class, receive credit toward a future class, or receive a full refund.

Refunds

A full refund will be provided if we are notified at least three days prior to the first class. If a dog is unable to attend due to an injury, illness, or start of heat cycle during enrolment, you will receive 50% discount of remaining sessions toward a future class.

Attendance

Participation in all class sessions is highly recommended as we build on previous lessons as we progress.

Behaviour Issues

Fuzzy Buddy Pet Services reserves the right to decline entry to any dog that presents behaviour issues which may be dangerous or disruptive to the class. If Fuzzy Buddy Pet Services determines that a dog is not able to participate in the group class, you will be referred to a private consultation and given a full refund for any remaining sessions. One-on-one training is available to resolve behaviour issues. (Please see link in menu for one-on-one training details.)
