At Canine Kindness Co., the health and safety of our clients and their canine companions is our top priority. While vaccinations are not required for private lessons, they are required for all group classes to ensure a safe and healthy training environment for everyone. We strongly recommend that your dog is up-to-date on the following vaccinations:

• Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella

For group classes, all dogs must have up-to-date vaccinations. We encourage you to discuss your dog’s vaccination schedule with your veterinarian to ensure they receive the appropriate vaccines based on their age, lifestyle, and health status. Your veterinarian can provide personalized advice to help keep your dog healthy and protected.

Maintaining current vaccinations helps create a safe environment for all participants, allowing us to focus on delivering the best possible training experience.

If you have any questions or need further information about our vaccination requirements or recommendations, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to working with you and your canine companion in a safe, supportive setting!
