We just adopted a dog from a shelter. Do you offer a discount on
training classes?
We offer a 10% discount on group training classes for dogs adopted from animal shelters and registered
non-profit rescue organizations in the past 6 months. Just provide us with a copy of your adoption contract
to receive the discount.
What do I need to bring to class?
- Collar. We recommend Martingale style collars for all dogs. A regular,well-fitting buckle collar is okay
too. Head Haltis, Gentle Leaders, body harnesses, and Easy Walk Harnesses are all permitted in class
(except for the AKC CGC class). Choke collars are not permitted.
- Leash. A 4' or 6' leash made from nylon, leather, or chain is acceptable. No Flexi or retractable leashes.
- Bag of treats. Our top choices for treats are sliced hot dogs, string cheese, sandwich/deli meats, and
freeze dried liver. Also great are food roll type treats (Natural Balance, Pet Botanics, or Homestyle Select),
beef jerky for dogs, and commercial treats such as Pupperoni, Canine Carryouts, and T-Bonz. You may
want to bring several kinds of treats to class.
- A chewy or stuffed Kong. This can keep your dog happy and occupied when the Instructor is talking or
demonstrating a technique. Excessive barking is hard for the Instructor to talk over and harder still for other
students to hear over.
- A copy of your dog's vaccination record. We need to keep this information on file so please bring us a
copy we can keep.
Can I observe a class before signing up?
Absolutely! We encourage anyone interested in our training to observe a class and see what we are all
about. Just call and let us know you're coming and we'll be happy to answer any questions you have.
Please leave your dog at home if you're just coming to watch.
What vaccinations do you require?
We require that your dog is current on vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian. We are aware
that different veterinarians may make different recommendations so we do not have a set list of vaccines
every dog must have to attend class. We do require that dogs are free of internal and external parasites
(fleas and worms). While not required, we do strongly recommend you give your dog flea/tick preventative
before attending class - classes are held outdoors.
Can I just show up with my dog on the night class starts?
No - registration is required. Classes are limited in size to ensure proper attention to all dogs so we ask
you not to show up for a class without registering.
I can't attend the class I signed up for. Can you refund my class deposit/fee?

What happens if I miss a night of class? Can I make it up?
We do not offer "make up" sessions so we encourage you to double check your calendar and be sure you
can attend all the class sessions you are signing up for. In the event of a missed class we are happy to
discuss the class by email or phone to help you get caught up.
My dog doesn't like other dogs. Coming to class will help him get better, right?
Depends. If your dog behaves aggressively or very fearful around other dogs, putting him in a situation
with lots of other dogs is not going to make him feel more comfortable. In fact, it can actually make his
behavior worse. However for some dogs who are mildly fearful/shy around people or other dogs they can
really benefit from the socialization of a group class. We can assess your dog to determine if s/he should
be in a group class. The fee for this assessment is $25 (Pre-Class Assessment - non-refundable).

Class Location:
When we receive your registration form, we will send you a confirmation letter (by regular mail) which
includes the directions to the class location (also shown below). If you are not familiar with Brady's Run
Park, we highly recommend driving out to the class location before your class starts. If you are still
unclear about the class location, contact us for more directions.
Brady's Run Park is located in Brighton Township off Route 51/Constitution Blvd. The park is less than 3
miles from Route 60 (now 376). Classes are held beside picnic shelter #6.
If you are coming from Route 51/Constitution Blvd, turn into Brady's Run Park. You are now on Brady's
Run Road. You will pass the Walking Trail parking lot on your right and on your left you will the entrance to
the ice arena. As you continue, you will pass the recycling center on your left. After you pass this, the next
left turn will have a sign for shelters 4,5,& 6. You can turn here if you want, but it is easier and more direct
to stay on the main road. Make the very next left turn and go down a slight hill. A blue restroom building
will be in front of you. Stay toward the right and shelter #6 will be on your left.
If you pass the Lodge or lake, you have gone too far.
If you are coming through Brady's Run Park from the opposite direction (from Dutch Ridge Road/Park
Road), you will go about half-way through the park, past the lake, and the lodge. Make the first right turn
after you pass the lodge. From this direction you will see a sign for shelter #6.
**The class location IS visible from Brady's Run Road! And please note, the class is NOT held at the
Dog Park.
Please remember to bring ample poop bags to clean up after your dog. Dogs must be on leash at all
times in the park and are not permitted in the picnic shelters.
