Group classes are held at two locations: Crest View Animal Clinic in Lincoln University, Pennsylvania (near Landenberg). The second floor training room is bright & clean with heating, A/C, and non-slip foam flooring tiles. Camp Bow Bow 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. With class sizes limited (5 dogs at Crest View, 6 dogs at Camp Bow Wow), you can be sure you & your dog will get the personal attention you need. All family members are encouraged to attend - the classes are fun (until all quarantine restrictions are lifted, there can only be one person per dog - no extras). 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.		TESTIMONIAL "Susan maintains an upbeat, reassuring learning environment for students (human and canine!). I have learned a ton with my own dogs plus shelter dogs I’ve brought through - I keep coming back because the dogs love these classes!" ~ Holly (and Domino)
