Directions

  1. Class enrollment is limited so please enroll early to insure a place in the class of your choice.

  2. Applications must be accompanied by the class fee(s).  Refund Policy: 100% before the start of class, 50% after the first class, NO REFUND after the 2nd class.

  3. Proof of inoculation is required on all beginning or new students before the first class.  Your veterinarian will provide you with a copy of your dog's inoculation record.  Because this rule is for the protection and benefit of all class participants, there are no exceptions.

  4. Please consider your cancelled check proof of registration.  If you need confirmation, call the office at (973) 948-2290.

  5. Class observers are always welcome; family members are encouraged to watch classes and to participate at home.

  6. Children must be accompanied and closely supervised by an adult other than the trainer.  Children must remain quietly seated while class is in session.  They are not allowed on the training floor or to run or play in the training building, surrounding parking lot or grounds, or to touch or pet any dog other than their own at any time.  The minimum age for class participation is fourteen.

  7. Only dogs that are registered for Flying W classes will be permitted in the training building.  No exceptions.  Limited crating space for registered dogs is available and crated dogs are expected to be quiet.

  8. Please "exercise" your dog at home before coming to class.  If needed, there is a "dog potty" area and plastic bags are available.  Do not allow your dog on the lawns near or surrounding the building.  Violation of this rule could result in expulsion from class with no refund.

  9. Please park only in the designated area in front of the buildings.

  10. For the protection of your pet and other class participants, please keep your dog free of all internal and external parasites.

  11. Female dogs that comes into season ("heat") are allowed to take part  in class if they are wearing protective "doggie britches", available from most pet supply stores.  (Call the office for a quick substitute solution.)

  12. From November through April, if the weather is inclement, call the office before 5:00 PM to find out if the classes are canceled for the evening.  In the event of a canceled class, the session will be either extended to cover the cancellation or the class will be scheduled for a make-up date.

  13. Class make-up/carryover policy: Obedience classes may be mad-up/carried over only through the end of the following session.  There will be no make-up/carryovers beyond that for any reason.

  14. For beginners I classes, an appropriate training collar and a six-foot lead are required.  Additionally, you will need a twenty foot long-line for Beginners II.  Although you are under no obligation to purchase training equipment through Flying W, all recommended training items will be available at a reasonable cost.

  15. For control and/or safety reasons: Retractable ("Flexi") leashes, chain leashes and buckle collars are not permitted in the BI or BII classes.  ID tags/licenses are not permitted on training collars as training collars are for training purposes only.  Dogs should NEVER be left crated or unsupervised while wearing or attached to any training equipment.
