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

What Clients Are Saying:

Karen is an awesome teacher. She is caring, gentle and patient. She gave me a little extra time tohelp me because I am hard of hearing and have great difficulty hearing in class. Because of her, Monkey flourished under her care. Thank you, Karen, for all your help!

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.
