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.

supply stores. (Call the office for a quick substitute solution.)
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
