NOTICE (updated) : 2 May 2020

PRO-K9 IS STILL OPEN FOR SERVICE

Our approach to training, which has always included purposely small group numbers, and the fact that we run our group training outdoors in a very spacious training field, has our local Federal MP confirming that we are good to go in terms of continuing to help Members and clients with their dogs' training.  We respect the concerns surrounding the current Coronavirus 19 pandemic and are of course mindful of the cautions that we are all entertaining and complying with and we maintain the social distancing recommendation of at least 1.5 metres (often more) and we have a supply of hand sanitiser in the event that our group class members wish to use it.

These are tough times for everyone and I thank all our clients for respecting the measures which have become necessary to reduce the CV19 spread and impact, but for also considering their dogs' needs which very importantly includes mental stimulation and of course, good behaviour within the community.  The conduct of our lessons comply with the recommendations thus far set down by the Prime Minister of Australia.  We hope that it will not come to the point where restrictive measures are declared which cause us to have to send our services into hibernation, but we wish to reassure our Members that, in the event this does occur, any unused portion of group Membership fees from the date of such 'hibernation' WILL BE REFUNDED.

We are aware that Puppy Preschools have closed due to the impact of the CoVid19 pandemic.  Our SMALL groups comply with social distancing and hygiene practices that have been recommended, and we are exercising our dogs in an outdoor, spacious area.  The classes do not comprise of "Preschool" per se, however they are suitable for pups and dogs of any age and we are doing what we can to accomodate and assist those who require additional tuition on puppy topics such as toilet training and the typical puppy behaviours such as mouthing/biting, destructive chewing and so on.  These topics do not form part of our standard group lessons but we may be able to structure additional annexed time for discussion as and when we are alerted to these needs.  Please note the additional annexed time is separate to your Membership fees.  For more information in this regard, or if you require additional time for this purpose, please contact Judi at Pro-K9.***
