This is all about hands-on practice with live dogs while under the supervision of a DOGSAFE® instructor. We do not force the dogs to do anything beyond their comfort zone and offer lots of intermissions and bathroom breaks.
"The hands-on experience in the DOGSAFE Part 2 workshop makes all the theory from DOGSAFE Part 1 sink in better. And trying out the equipment gave us a very good idea of what essential safety equipment we need (but hopefully will never use)!"
- Rosa Diaz, Boneheads Pet Services, DOGSAFE Graduate, August 12, 2009

Vaccination Requirements
We request all dogs to have vaccinations for canine distemper, canine parvovirus and rabies within the last three years. We also accept serum antibody titer tests. After discussion with your veterinarian, if you choose not to vaccinate your dog, please contact us by phone or email to discuss. We want to support your informed decision and will most likely permit your dog. Please refer to our Vaccination Information webpage for more details.
