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

Today I was paid the ultimate compliment by Lisbeth Plant, owner of Cowichan Canine. She said I had helped my puppy Daphne (now 6 months old) develop into a really nice young dog. I agree! But of course I could not have done it without the wonderful folks at Cowichan Canine: professional, caring, knowledgeable and a bonus - all with a great sense of humour! Lisbeth, Stephanie, Andrea, Glenda and Steph all continue to help me guide Daphne and I am so grateful for their help, knowledge and kindness and for occasionally talking me down from a proverbial cliff! How lucky we are here in the Cowichan valley to have access to a full spectrum of resources to help guide and develop our dogs into the best they can be! Let the learning (and fun) continue!
