Take a look at our frequently asked questions for more information about Hectic Hounds.
Do I attend class with my dog?
Your FIRST CLASS will be for humans only. After that, yes – you should plan to attend with your pup.
Can multiple handlers attend class?
I'd like for my child to attend as the dog's handler. Is that okay?
What happens if I miss one or more classes?
Due to the progressive nature of the class, missed classes are unable to be made up or credited.
My dog is sick with ____. Can they still join classes?
My dog has bitten another dog and/or person. Is this class right for them?
Unfortunately, pups who have a bite history are not a good fit for this class. Please contact the office for more detailed information on your options.
My dog is highly reactive or fearful. Will they be alright to attend class?
The dogs in this class will be social but overaroused when in the presence of other dogs or people. As such, if you have a reactive or fearful dog, it is not likely to be a good fit. However, feel free to check in with the office or schedule a phone consult to discuss further!
