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.)
PET MANNERS - Linear class
- 10 classes in total, usually distributed over 5 weeks with two classes per week
- 21 July - Tuesdays and Saturdays at 5:30pm for FIVE WEEKS, with the last class on Tue 25 Aug (no class on 1 August - BC Day weekend)
*we have to make allowances for holidays, snow days, etc which may lengthen the course by a week or two in order to get all the ten classes in. More time for homework! J

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.

My Mom was very impressed with the change in Finn and reminded me of a walk we took last March where he was explosive at everyone we met along the way.
