• Our beginner classes are small, so we can easily work with you & your dog on more advance training if you cannot attend a level assessment.
• If you test out of the beginner class at the level assessment, you will be required to attend one-"Getting To Know Toledo Dog Training Orientation" prior to the start of class. This is included in your class tuition. 

   
• We are assessing weather your dog is looking at you for instruction, or if your dog is too distracted in the environment at hand.   
• Basic behaviors include: Sit, Down, Stay, Recall, Walking On Leash, Being Handled/Pet By A Stranger & Ignoring Other Dogs/People/Distractions.  You are able to use rewards & humane training during the assessment.  Your dog does not need to be perfect, but remember, an assessment is to determine if your dog is able to attend an intermediate class.
• Humane Treatment: Any person signing up for an assessment must agree to use huane training methods that would reflect Toledo Dog Training's philosophy. Specifically, no shock collars, pinch/prong, choke or citronella collars will be allowed, no ear-pinching, and no harsh or inhumane treatment of dogs (including but not limited to hanging, strangling, choking, kicking, dragging, beating, hitting, striking, slamming, throwing or any other pain-inducing method). 
• We do not offer assessments on a private basis.  At our assessments we are using volunteers, dogs & distractions.
• Level Assessments will occur on a limited basis, and do fill quickly.  
• You always have the option of singing up for a Beginner Class if we do not have an assessment available.
• Handler should be the person who will be taking the dog through classes.
