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.)

Both Carmella and I had a great time in the Puppy Start Right program and we are amazed every day at how much difference both the program and its philosophy have made for our pup. Thanks again to you and Laurie!!!

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.
