— A fecal screening showing “negative” test results

Beginner Classes and up:
Bordetella (Please click here for the waiting period requirements), minimum of 2 Distempers, and for dogs 6 months and older, Rabies.
(Highly recommended but not required: a negative Fecal Screening and 2 Influenza bivalent vaccines).

To ensure your dog has met all vaccination requirements, we require you to submit all vaccine documentation prior to the start of class.
