Health and Safety Requirements
Rabies Vaccination: Required by law for all dogs attending class.
Puppies Under Six Months: It is recommended that puppies have their initial vaccinations as advised by their veterinarian before attending class. Please consult your veterinarian for guidance on vaccinations.
Drop the Leash LLC maintains a clean environment but cannot guarantee the prevention of illness, parasites, or communicable diseases. By enrolling in this class, you acknowledge and accept this risk.
Eligibility and Participation
Age Requirement: This class is for participants 18 years of age and older.
Additional Participants: If anyone under 18 will be present, they must be supervised by an additional adult other than the one handling the dog.
Recommendation Regarding Children: We strongly recommend that young children do not attend class. Reach out to Drop the Leash LLC with any questions regarding children attending.
- Teaching a dog requires focused participation from the handler.
- Managing both a dog and a child can make it difficult to engage fully in the exercises.
- Dogs in class may be excited, reactive, or adjusting to a new environment, which can create safety concerns for children.
- Dogs need a consistent handler for effective learning. Switching between caregivers or dealing with distractions can make learning less successful.
- Some dogs in class may be fearful or uncomfortable around children, which can add stress for both the dog and their guardian.
- If an adult must bring a child to class, another responsible adult (other than the handler) must supervise the child at all times, outside the training area.
