Important Things to Know

  • All our classes are 45 minutes in length unless otherwise posted.
  • Classes are held once a week on the same day and time each week.
  • Classes are not held on statutory holidays, or on the weekend of a statutory holiday. They will resume the following week.
  • Our classes are designed for adult learners. Participants should be over the age of sixteen.
  • Family members observing class must remain quiet and in their seats until class is over. This is to provide a less distracting environment and a more positive training experience for both the student and the dog.
  • Dogs can be on a regular collar, head halter, harness (prefer those with ring in the front). We do not allow the use of choke chains, prong (pinch) collars, shock or bark collars in our facilities.
  • A regular 6 foot nylon or leather leash is required. Please, no retractable or slip type leads.
  • Class ratio is one trainer per 4 dogs
  • We use positive marker-based reward and concept games based training methods. No punishment or aversive methods are allowed in class. Prong (pinch), choke, shock or bark collars are not allowed on the premises.
  • NO REFUND POLICY - Once payment has been submitted for your course or seminar, there are no refunds or credits. There are no refunds or credits if you drop out class or miss any classes.
  • If your dog is ill on a class day, and you are able, please come to the school without your dog, to watch the lesson. This will enable you to continue with the lessons at home during the week.
  • If your dog is unable to come back to class due to illness or injury, please send a vet note and a courtesy credit will be issued towards a future class(es).
  • Please do not register for a class if you have concerns about your dog’s temperament or behaviour. Instead email us at info@whoswalkingwho.ca with your concerns.
  • If the trainer determines that your dog is not comfortable in a group class, you will not be allowed to continue. The office will issue a full refund and provide other options to help you and your dog.
  • If you suspect a class may be postponed due to weather, please check the ticker tape on our website 2 hours prior to your class start time. If it is postponed, we will continue the course the following week. In which case your course will finish 1 week later.
