PLEASE NOTE: if your dog barks non-stop in the course
If your dog fails to concentrate in the presence of other dogs in a group class and this manifests itself in excessive barking, thus disrupting the class for the other participants, we reserve the right to terminate the lesson for the offending participant and ask the participants to complete the course in private lessons, which entails additional costs, since private lessons are more expensive. In addition, the started course hour will unfortunately be charged. The reason is that we want to create a calm and concentrated environment for the participants in the courses. Your dog can also benefit from private lessons because the barking problem is specifically addressed and treated.

Depending on how well the participant and their dog implement what they have learned, there is nothing to prevent the participant from returning to a group course as long as the dog no longer barks excessively. Please understand this procedure, as we want to please all participants.

Thanks. 

MISSED COURSE - WHAT TO DO?

Don't worry if you miss a lesson because the course content is repetitive, you can join or repeat missing content at any time. In addition, we repeat what we have already learned and repeat the most important content so that it fits everyone.

We look forward to seeing you.
