Attending
- Maximum of 2 persons per family to attend the training sessions.
- Children are welcome but we accept no responsibility for them, they are the responsibility of the adult they are with. If they are disruptive to class or any of the dogs are finding them too difficult, we may have to ask them to leave the class.
- Classes are for dogs wishing to progress in general training. You must not knowingly book a dog who is aggressive to dogs or people onto group training. If you have any questions over class suitability for your dog, please speak with Ben.
- Positive off lead interactions can be a fantastic learning experience for dogs. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a suitable mix in each class for this to always be possible.
- All dogs attending class must have shown proof of vaccination (if you have any questions over this please contact Ben). This is for the safety of your dog as well as everyone else’s.
- Any dog faeces passed at the academy is the responsibility of their guardian to pick and dispose of responsibly.
- Dogs may never be left alone in cars whilst at the club.
- At all times dogs should be kept on lead and away from contact with other people and dogs whilst on the premises, unless explicitly told otherwise. If your dog or another dog is reacting (barking, pulling on the lead or trying to move away) then please increase the distance between yourself and the other dog.
- The car park is a private car park, but we cannot take any responsibility for damage or loss whilst parked on our property.
- Dogs are not allowed in the Children’s playground.
Illness and injury
- Bitches currently in heat, if actively in heat (bleeding), are not allowed to attend the classes. It is unfair and distracting on other dogs. She will also be less likely to cope with training during this period.
- This also goes for sick or injured dogs, including dogs who have been in contact with infectious diseases including Kennel Cough and Parvovirus. If you are unsure if your dog should attend, please speak with Ben.
- We can rearrange any 1-2-1 training to suit but if you are in group classes your dog may unfortunately miss classes due to this.
- You can still attend without your dog to maintain continuity of training. Replacement classes cannot be offered unfortunately as classes are limited to a maximum of 10 dogs per class.
Photography
- During training we may take photographs or videos of dogs learning and family members may be captured in these photos.
- These are to be used in both educational and promotional materials. By agreeing to our terms and conditions you give consent for Denton Dog Club/McGregor’s Canines to use these materials as stated above including on social media and marketing material.
