Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@thehappyhoundplaypark.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.

  • three completed sets of Distemper combination vaccine
  • Rabies vaccine

Suggested Vaccinations

Your dog does not need to be spayed or neutered. Female dogs in heat are not able to participate in group classes until 30 days from the beginning of their heat cycle.


Yes, absolutely! We allow a maximum of two people per dog per class.


We keep class size very small to provide the best experience and value for you and your dog. We accept a maximum of 4 puppies per class. Small class size benefits you by allowing the trainer to focus on your specific experience and questions.


We follow and teach science-based positive reinforcement practices and methodologies. 


If you miss a class

If you are sick for a class or otherwise unable to make a scheduled class, the trainer will provide you with the homework for that missed class. There are no make-up classes offered if you miss a class due to your schedule or sickness.  You are welcome to book the trainer for a 30-minute private session to get caught up or have one-on-one instruction for $50. 


Cancellation policy

Payment for class is non-refundable or transferrable if cancellation is made less than two weeks in advance of the class start date. Payment is transferrable for a future class within three months of original class date if cancellation is made more than two weeks in advance of the class start date.
