Policies and Procedures

Enrollment
The ARF adoption fee includes a 60% discount for one (1) manners course taken within 120 days of the adoption date. For all other classes, payment is required at the time of registration to reserve your spot in the class.

Acceptable methods of payment include:

• Credit Card (fax, phone,mail or via ARF's website)
• Check (mail only)

Students will receive registration confirmation once the completed form and payment are received. If the first choice is full, student’s second choice will be substituted. Please read ARF’s cancellation and refund polices before registering for a class.

Vaccinations Required
Adult dogs must show proof of current parvo/distemper (DHPP) and rabies vaccinations. A three (3) year rabies shot is acceptable. Puppies need to show proof of a series of three (3) DHPP vaccinations (the final one being at 14 weeks or older). We recommend bordatella vaccination for all dogs as well as flea/tick preventatives.

Cancellations
At ARF U, a minimum of number of students must be met for a class to begin. If the minimum number of students have not enrolled for a class, the class may be canceled or the start date may be postponed. We will notify you three (3) days before the class was scheduled to start; you will be given the option to enroll in a different class, received credit towards a future class, or receive a full refund.

Refunds
Refunds can be provided if you notify us that you are unable to attend a class at least one (1) week before the class start date. Refunds can be credit card refunds, checks or credit toward a future class. Credit card refunds or checks may take up to four (4) weeks to process. We do not issue credit or refunds for partially completed courses.

Attendance
The first class of our manners courses, AKC CGC prep class and Unleash the Madness: Good Dogs with Bad Attitudes is an orientation. The orientation is an important class filled with all the information you will need to help succeed in training. Attendance to the orientation is mandatory. If you are unable to make the orientation, please inform us so we can work with you to make other arrangements. Students who miss the orientation without making prior arrangements are assumed to have dropped out of the class, and will forfeit their class fee. If you are unable to attend a session (aside from orientation) please contact the class instructor to obtain the class material. Our classes are taught in a series; therefore, drop-ins and make-up classes are not permitted.

If, at any time, the trainer judges that a dog or handler is jeopardizing the safety of people or other dogs in the class, the trainer may request that the dog be removed from class.

Family Members in Class
ARF encourages all family members to attend training classes. Children should be supervised at all times.

Please note: Some dogs may not be comfortable with small children. Should a student's child express interest in another dog, at the end of the class, that child's parent should obtain permission from the dog's Guardian to meet with the dog.
