Keeping it safe and healthy
General group training classes are NOT suitable for dogs who bark, lunge, snap or growl at other dogs.
Contact me on hello@jaricastle.com.au or via Facebook Messenger if you are unsure or would like to discuss training options.
Do not bring your dog or puppy to any class if they are sick or injured. Again, contact me if you are unsure.
Vaccinations
All dogs and puppies must have a current C5 or C3 vaccination or a Titer Test.
Proof of vaccination status is required prior to starting classes and must be updated as your dog has each booster to ensure vaccinations are current at all times.
