We\u2019re offering:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Free evaluations<\/strong>\u00a0that are\u00a0<em><strong>done safely\u2026 where our dog trainers maintain a safe distance from you at all times. <\/strong><\/em>Typically we don\u2019t even need to handle your dog during the initial evaluation, but if we do\u2013 then we use a tie-out mechanism that you\u2019ll easily attach your dog\u2019s leash to\u2013 and then back away before we work with your dog. We\u2019ll also be using plenty of hand sanitizer (and we encourage you to as well!) Another great option is our free phone consultation or Facetime consultation.

We are disinfecting every door handle, every place cot, and every leash after each dog along with everything else that is in our facility. We are also following the guideline of having a maximum of 10 people at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All private lessons are now conducted with distance.<\/strong> Our dog trainers will coach you through the handling exercises\u2013 while staying 6 feet away at all times.
