Admission Criteria

In order to keep our staff and our doggy clients safe at school, we need to follow the following procedures when your dog joins the school.



• All new dogs must have an introductory assessment to determine their suitability, followed by at least three taster sessions varying in duration
• We cannot accept intact male dogs over six months old in the school (unless under one of our training programmes)
• By law we cannot accept any breed or derivative (cross breed) of banned dogs. Our assessment is the sole criteria
• We maintain a healthy ratio of different dog sizes therefore we may put your doggy on a waiting list until a suitable space becomes available
• We do not accept dogs with risky behaviour issues - dogs learning to behave can either join our dog training pipeline or employ any other dog trainer to work with the behaviour issues first

• We cannot accept dogs that are allergic, are on routine medication or have ongoing medical issues or dogs who are in recovery
  
• Please note, we cannot accept dogs before 08:00 am in the morning due planning restrictions from the HBC
  
• Please come and visit us to see what we do. Strictly by appointment (no exceptions) after 4:00 pm on weekdays without a dog
  
• Declaration: If your dog presents a risk to our staff or other dogs, then; 
  In line with our legal obligation to keep our staff safe under H&S regulations and the Dangerous Dog Act and to keep other dogs safe under animal welfare regulations, we reserve the right to muzzle your dog, restrict your dog's movement, isolate your dog, or immediately send the dog home 

Remember, the above criteria are in place to keep doggies and humans safe and happy at the school. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
