How to Get Started!

To get started, clients should first decide which class best suits their dog’s needs (e.g., Puppy, Intermediate). Required vaccinations include at least the 2nd round of shots for puppies not fully vaccinated, and the annual DAPP (DA2P, DHPP) vaccine as well as Rabies for fully vaccinated dogs.

Clients should then review the calendar of upcoming class start dates and times, noting that calendars only show the first class of each 6-week course, with subsequent classes occurring on the same day and time with the same instructor. After selecting a desired class, clients must contact The Complete Canine (email or text preferred) to verify availability. Once the class date(s)/time(s) and instructor are confirmed, clients can proceed to make their payment on the webpage to secure their spot on the roster. A waiver of liability and informed consent release form is also available for download.
