Canine Respiratory Disease

Due to concerns regarding the spread of Canine Respiratory Disease, we have implemented the following:

  • Discontinued off-leash playtime in all classes.

  • Individual (non-communal) water bowls are available, upon request.

  • Owners/Handlers are requested to prohibit nose-to-nose contact between dogs.

  • Rigorous cleaning of all high-use surfaces.

  • Please ensure your dogs are vaccinated against Bordetella and Influenza.

  • Consult your Veterinarian Immediately if your dog begins coughing.

  • Please visit the Colorado Department of Agriculture page regarding Canine Respiratory Disease for more information.

Work towards achieving your dog training goals and join us in class.
