Full payment is required to confirm your registration. Registration is not complete until both the registration form and your payment are received. 

If there are limited working/full registration spots with dogs for the event you signed up for and the limit has been reached you will have the option to be put on a wait list, cancel without penalty or switch to an auditor.

We ask that only working participants can have dogs in the building during the seminar. The strictness of this policy depends on the location of the seminar and space availability. All dogs must be friendly with people and dogs, and quiet in a crate or ex-pen. Noisy or disruptive dogs will be asked to be moved to your vehicle. Dogs must be on leash and supervised at all times.

• Transfers from working to auditor spots will be reimbursed the difference in tuition based on the above policies.

A written note back from Dogs of Course, within 5 working days, will confirm your cancellation. Your cancellation is not valid without a confirmation of receipt.

This policy applies to participants/auditors that must withdraw for any reason including but not limited to injury, illness, emergency and personal or work-related reasons. Registration is not transferable. This policy is without exception.
