Visiting Hours

First Weekend

No visitors on Saturday. The purpose of this is to allow the bonding process between you and your dog to continue with as little distraction as possible.

Sunday afternoon visiting hours are 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. You may not leave the premises with your visitors.

Second and Third Weekends

Saturday from 4:00 to 10:00 p.m

Sunday from 1:00 to 10:00 p.m.

You may, with permission from the Instructor, leave the premises with visitors on Saturday and Sunday.  However, you may not take your dog with you and you must return for your dog’s regularly scheduled “feed and park” needs.

Graduation

Your graduation ceremony takes place on Saturday of the third weekend. This ceremony begins at 1:30 p.m. and is dedicated to honoring you and the puppy raiser who provided the earliest socialization and training for your dog. The ceremony is followed by refreshments. You will have an opportunity to meet with your dog’s puppy raiser(s).  You may invite your family and friends to the ceremony. Once your puppy raiser departs, you may leave the campus with your guests, but you must return by 10:00 p.m. Retrains, with the approval of the Class Supervisor, may go home after the graduation ceremony and reception. Those leaving by plane will be taken to the airport the following Sunday. Please note: Meals are not provided to visitors. Picnic areas and restaurants are available nearby.
