    • You register for the workshop by submitting payment through our third-party website. The button is in yellow above this FAQ section and is linked on every individual workshop page. 

    • Each workshop has different registration requirements. Most require at minimum a $100.00 deposit to hold a place with full payment due one month before the start date of the course. Please follow the instruction on the payment portal for your particular course.

    • Each workshop has its own refund policy. Most require a written request for a refund at least one month prior to the start date of the course. For those workshops that allow refunds, a 20% administration fee will be retained. Please read the course description carefully to see if it qualifies for a refund. 

    • The workshop includes the tuition for the course. No transportation, accommodation, or food is included.  There are some exceptions for K9 courses that do include lunch. Please read the description of the workshop carefully.
