Fundamentals I is taught entirely in English. We are unable to provide translation services.

CAN I BRING MORE THAN ONE DOG? DO YOU HAVE SPECIAL PRICING IF I BRING MORE THAN ONE DOG?

IF I BRING A DOG, WHAT VACCINATION RECORDS ARE REQUIRED? HOW DO I GET THEM TO YOU?

We must have proof of current vaccination records for rabies, Bordetella and DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). For our Florida facility, we also need H3N8 inoculation plus a fecal test. Proof of vaccination must be received by us before you attend the course.

WILL PARTICIPATING IN FUNDAMENTALS I RESOLVE MY DOG'S MISBEHAVIOR OR ISSUES?

Fundamentals I is not a dog rehabilitation program, but a human-centered educational program. It is not designed to resolve a dog’s issues during the program (although many dogs are helped). Rather, the purpose is to teach you the Pack Leader skills so that you can be the leader your dog seeks and needs.

IF I DON’T BRING A DOG, WILL I GET HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS?

We will provide you with hotel information when your registration for the course is approved. You are not required to stay at the recommended hotel.

DO YOU OFFER A SHUTTLE OR OTHER TRANSPORTATION?

No, we do not. We suggest that you rent a car since you are responsible for your own transportation to and from the airport as well as between the hotel and the DPC. Many participants organize carpools among themselves for traveling to and from the DPC each day. We encourage these carpools, but do not organize them.

While we welcome participation by couples or families, we do not offer family or group discounts. The program fee covers only one human (or human with dog).
