The following classes have rolling enrollment so you can start anytime:
Other classes operate on a linear basis with specific start dates, as detailed below.
IMPORTANT: In linear classes, like Pet Manners, CGN/AdvPetManners or Scent Detection, the spots in class are guaranteed for each student that has registered and student spots cannot be easily replaced. Therefore, after your spot in a linear class has been confirmed, but you then cancel less than one week before the scheduled start date of the class, your class fee will be forfeit (= no refund!) . IF, however, there is a future class that does not fill that Cowichan Canine may be able to fit you into a later class (unless you pay another class fee).
(Puppy Start Right, Agility and Play Groups are modular classes, and this provision does not apply to those classes.)

Buster and I had a great time in Foundation. I was already recommending you to clients, but will do so even more passionately now. Buster and I will likely show up in a beginners' agility class soon.
