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, your class fee will be forfeit (= no refund!) if you cancel less than one week before the scheduled start date of the class. In that case, it is only if 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.)

What Clients Are Saying:

Wanting to be new dog owners, we got 16 weeks old puppy, named Pepper. Shortly after bringing Pepper home, she was attacked by much larger dog and seriously injured. After consultation with the vet, we came to understanding that Pepper maybe traumatized by the horrible experience. We soon realized this was the case, Pepper was scared of other dogs and continuously barking. We contacted Lisbeth at Cowichan canine, who came to our home and gave us one on one lessons. We found Lisbeth to be very knowledgeable , professional and patient with novice dog owners. Lisbeth invited us to the Cowichan canine facility, where we were introduced to the staff and other dog owners. Being so impressed with the dedication of the staff and variety of classes, we enrolled Pepper immediately. Whenever we have any concerns or questions, Lisbeth is always quick to respond. Pepper became much calmer dog after reactive dog classes, so I am enjoying walking with her. To Lisbeth and the stuff, Thank you for everything.

Dear Lisbeth, I have just passed my Foundation Programme with my dog Lucky. I just want to mention how much I enjoyed the classes with Karen. She was delightful to work with and I look forward to some more classes with her in the spring.
