Question 7.

You will be credited for the weeks you miss while your dog is in season and this money will go towards your next course. Please note that a bitch in season or dog needing to have an operation or being ill is usually the only ones in which we credit fees paid. We do not give refunds as we expect you will have decided you are able to attend before you come along to class.

Question 8.

We apologise, but we are not able to let any dogs with aggressive tendencies or excessive barking join the group courses. This is because all dogs work closely together in class and are off lead in some instances.
