And new for 2019 - half an inch of eva foam for great cushioning & a non-slip surface. Camp Bow Wow in Avondale, Pennsylvania. The training room is spacious with heating and A/C. Courses range from Puppy Pre-K to Advanced - please contact Susan if you have any questions regarding which course would be appropriate for your pet. We encourage you to observe a class & carefully read the course descriptions to be sure the course you are signing up for best fits your needs. The tuition fee reserves your spot for the entire course. Withdrawal from the class must be made 48hrs before the course begins in order to get a refund. If you must switch from one course to another, you must discuss that with Susan directly, at least 48 hours prior to the start of the original course start date. Please
contact Susan if you have any
questions about the group classes.

upbeat, reassuring learning environment for students (human and
