Check back in 2024 for our next class date! How do courses typically work? Two days Time: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm *Participants must attend the full 10 hours to receive a certificate. What to bring? 1. Wear comfortable layers. We will be inside for the entirety of this course but you may want layers for the AC/heating. 2. Writing aids (paper, pen/pencil, etc... you will receive a first aid manual). 3. A water bottle and snacks as desired. Light refreshments will be provided. You may bring lunch or find lunch off site during our 1/2hr midday break. 4. Dogs are welcome but MUST registered before the course date. We limit dog participation by number and individual personalities to ensure a safe and effective learning environment. Dogs must be relatively calm, quiet, sociable with dogs/people, not prone to fear or anxiety, and be willing to be handled by multiple people for demonstrations.  Please bring some of their food and favorite treats and something comfy to lie on. We reserve the right to send any dog home if they are disruptive or otherwise unsuitable for the dynamics of the class, which may result in their human missing class and losing their class fee. We're sorry we can't accomodate cats in class, we just can't always trust our canine friends among the felines and most cats prefer to stay home anyway ;) Safety considerations? We want you to feel safe and welcome in class and expect you will extend the same courtesy to other classmates: 1. You will be provided with a personal stuffed animal and first aid supplies to utilize throughout the course, limiting the need to touch shared resources. 2. Hand sanitizer is readily available in class. Masks are not required but are encouraged. 3. If you are feeling unwell or if you have had a positive COVID-19 test, please do not come to class. If your instructor is feeling unwell, we will contact you to let you know whether the class is rescheduled, or whether another instructor will be teaching class.  4.
