Open Enrollment FAQs
What is open enrollment? Each week, we will cover one or two skills from essentially start to finish, in self-contained modules. Your dog will still need practice at home and other places to become pros, of course, but we will put the tools in your hand to make sure you can prepare them for whatever real-life situation they are thrown into.
Is open enrollment better than traditional classes? Traditionally, dog training classes are offered on something like a 4, 6, or 8 week schedule, and each week you build on the behaviors that you learned the previous weeks. Unfortunately, what that means for some people is having to wait weeks or months before they can join a class. For puppies, especially, this means missing out on some valuable training time.
How does open enrollment registration work? Students, upon registering for a class, will begin at the next available date. For instance, if class A, B, and C in a 6 week course are full or you missed them, you will be given the option to begin on week D, and would then attend E, F, A, B, and C in that order. You will need to view a video orientation prior to your first class.
Can I make up a missed class? Because the class is continuously rolling, there is an opportunity to catch up on the missed class when it rolls around again -- assuming there is room. Make-ups limited to two in a six week package, must be made up within two months (in most cases, this means there's one opportunity) and will be dependent on the eligible makeup class not being filled.
