Make-Up Classes
If you find you're unable to attend a class, your instructor will try to "catch you up" at the beginning or end of the next class. If this is not possible, hand-outs given in class will also help with the learned behaviors that were taught in the missed class. You may also schedule a private lesson, at an additional fee, to go over what was missed in class. Private lessons are based on the instructor's availability.
Bitches in Season
Bitches in season will be allowed in some classes with the permission of the instructor. Please ask before you bring your dog to class.
Aggressive Dogs
Dogs who are aggressive toward other dogs or people are not allowed in class. If you have questions about your dog being able to come to class, please contact My Hero Dog Training to discuss your dog's behavior. It is possible for these dogs to take private lessons. If your dog displays an inappropriate behavior in a class, My Hero Dog Training reserves the right to excuse the dog from class. You may transfer your dog to private lessons. The remainder of your class fees can be applied to these private lessons. Another option, may be, that your dog wear a muzzle during class.
Training Methods
Positive motivational training techniques will be used in all classes. Food/treats will be the primary motivator. Clicker training may be taught in some classes. Negative, aversive, or compulsive training methods will not be allowed in any class.
Training Equipment
Choke chains, pronged collars, electronic collars, and retractable leashes are not allowed in class. It is recommended that the dog wears a quick release or buckle collar. Four foot to six foot leashes made out of whatever material (leather, nylon, etc.) you find comfortable are permitted. Please wear appropriate footwear – no open toed sandals or high heels.
Class Cancellations
If it becomes necessary for an instructor to cancel class due to illness or weather, an additional class will be added to the schedule. Notification of the cancellation will be placed on the schedule page of the My Hero Dog Training website or by e-mail.
