What we do to keep our facility disease free!

We take cleaning very seriously!

Disinfectants and Cleaning operations

We minimize the risk of exposure to disease by deep cleaning our training facility with a cleaner called Rescue. Rescue is Veterinary Grade Disinfectant Cleaner that kills Parvo, Ringworm, Kennel Cough, and more. Read more about how it works HERE.

We also use the following products for regular cleaning

  • Bleach

  • Tide & Bleach combo (in washer)

  • Kids and Pets enzyme cleaner

  • Rescue

Daily cleaning operations— “No double dipping”

  • Before every puppy class all surfaces, and props are sprayed down with a thorough coat of Rescue, which is then allowed to air dry before your puppy comes into contact with the objects/props they will be using in class.

  • After every puppy class all props are either sprayed again, or soaked in a bleach solution. All toys and fabric surfaces are run through our washer/drying with both detergent and bleach.

  • Treat crumbs are always swept and vacuumed between all services

  • We never re-use food dispensing puzzles without soaking/cleaning with bleach first

Weekly cleaning operations- Deep clean!

Once weekly the entire facility is deep cleaned with a virus killing bleach solution. We mop all floor surfaces and spray down/soak any equipment that dogs of all ages come into contact with.

pee/poo happens

  • If in class a dog pees or poops the area get sanitized with both an enzyme cleaner and bleach.

Policies around Illness

  • DIARRHEA OR VOMITING: Please do not bring your dog to class if they are showing signs of diarrhea or vomiting. Your dog will be asked to leave class immediately if they have diarrhea or vomiting in class. A negative fecal test result from the vet will be required to return to class.

  • RESPIRATORY ILLNESS: Please do not bring your dog to class if they are exhibiting signs of coughing or sneezing. Your dog will also be asked to leave if they are showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing or sneezing.

  • UP TO DATE VACCINES REQUIRED. (for puppies 16 weeks and younger just the first round of DHPP)

  • PROTECTED FROM DISEASE: Must be on a regular vaccination schedule during class.

  • MONTHLY PREVENTATIVES: Must be on regular monthly flea, tick, and heart worm prevention.

All of these cleaning operations are taken very seriously by our staff to ensure that your dog/puppy can attend classes, lessons and day training safely and with low risk for exposure to contagious diseases.
