Puppies older than 4 months and adult dogs must have current Rabies vaccination, distemper/parvo combination, and have no symptoms of illness, including coughing, sneezing, discharge from the eyes or nose, or skin lesions.

• Please bring your dog to class in a well-fitting buckle collar, or a Gentle Leader head collar. Gentle Leaders are not required, but are available for purchase at the Training School for $16.99. Choke chains, prong collars, and electronic collars are not allowed.
  
  
• Harnesses are allowed only if the leash is clipped to the front. If your dog is too unruly in a harness, we will recommend a buckle collar or Gentle Leader.
  
  
• Please bring your dog to class on a 4 or 6 foot nylon, cotton, or leather leash. No double-handles, or retractable leads allowed in class
  
  
• Our group classes are not appropriate for dogs that fight with or are reactive to other dogs, or are aggressive to people. Dogs that are disruptive and/or jeopardize the safety of others will be dismissed from class. If your dog has ever bitten anyone seriously enough to break skin, or has problems with other dogs, please call 317.876.2173 before registering.
  
  
• After your Training Pass start date, refunds are given only in case of medical emergency. By applying for class you are reserving a spot in our training program. Start dates for Training Passes are the 1st class attended after the introductory class. Passes end on the same day of the month as the start date.
  
  

I understand that there are inherent risks associated with the presence of dogs in training. I assume full responsibility for myself, my dog and any substitute handlers of my dog and any observers that may attend my class with me. I have read and agree to the policies of the Humane Society of Indianapolis Canine Training Program. I agree that I have given full disclosure of any history of aggressive behavior by my dog and that failure to do so will result in my dismissal from class and no refund shall be given. By registering for a canine training class I am reserving a space in the canine training program and I understand that after my training pass start begins, no refund will be granted expect in the case of a medical emergencies. I release the rights to any and all photographic material and personal information the Humane Society of Indianapolis may wish to release for this event without obligation to me.
