Class policies and procedures

To do our best to ensure that only healthy people attend our classes, all students need to provide a copy of their current COVID vaccine record during their registration. Please review our COVID Release-Waiver and Safety Protocols. We appreciate your help! 


We ask that dogs in-season not attend class until they are finished. 


Keep any sick or suspected sick dogs at home until they feel better and are cleared by your vet to return to classes. You will be asked to take your dog home if you appear sick in class.

Our group classes are limited to four teams (unless otherwise stated) for COVID safety, maximum training time, and instruction.  

You are responsible for the actions of your dog. Dogs must be on a leash at all times unless otherwise instructed by Diana Simonsen. Click on our Service Agreement for more details.

All class schedules are subject to change.

We will endeavor to create as safe an environment as possible for your dog training and offer only sound, secure, and responsible training instructions. Diana Simonsen Dog Training is not responsible for unintentional errors, omissions, or incorrect assumptions.
