GROUP CLASSES taught at the View Royal Community Hall unless otherwise noted.

To participate in group classes puppies/dogs must get along with people and other dogs, and not bark incessantly.
If your dog doesn't fit this criteria - we can help - you may need a private session or two to get you and your dog on track.
