Vaccinations
|
All dogs must be current on rabies, distemper/parvo,
and bordetella vaccines. Dogs must also have had a fecal
float test done within the year. You will be asked to
provide copies or scans of these receipts when you enroll.
If you practice Holistic veterinary medicine on your
dog, please discuss what is needed for class medical
records with Liz.

Attendees
|
We here at Pawsitive encourage all human family members
to attend class with your dog, if possible. Dog training
should be a family affair to ensure the same message is
communicated from human to dog, hence, have the family
present at class!

Potty
|
If your pooch needs a potty break, by all means, give
'em one, right away! Please pick up any poo that is deposited
by your pooch, just imagine if no one did!!!! There are
poo pick-up bags distributed around the grounds (i.e.
tied to the handles of the trash bins and along the fence).
If you can't find one, please ask!

Weather
|
We live in Michigan, therefore inclement weather class
postponement could occur. That is why it is important
to have phone numbers that you can be reached at listed
on your enrollment form. If there are 'warning' advisories
posted on the radio, tv, etc. we will not be holding class.
If there are 'watches', please contact us to check on
the class status.
If you choose not to attend class do to the weather or
a pooch/human illness, please call or email Liz or your
instructor so we, don't worry and can make arrangements
to try to make up class material.

Agility
|
We recommend dogs do not start agility at least until
the age of 1 years and 1 1/2 to 2 years for large or giant
breeds . Agility puts a forced stress on their joints
while a dog is still in the growing process. If your dog
is young, things like 'walking over the jump stands' may
be suggested as opposed to jumping over them.
We also recommend that your dog be cleared by a vet as
being healthy enough to participate in agility. If your
dog has any health concerns such as age, hip or elbow
dysplasia, arthritis, etc, please let the instructor know
and we can find ways to make the class fun for you and
your dog without causing injury.
