The following classes have rolling enrollment so you can start anytime: 

Puppy Start Right 

Agility


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

  • 12 May - Tuesdays and Saturdays at 5:30pm for FIVE WEEKS, with the last class on Sat 13 June.

*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

ADVANCED PET MANNERS - Linear class

  • Scheduled again in the fall of 2026

Students who have not graduated from either Foundation or Pet Manners at Cowichan Canine will need to take a Challenge Assessment
