• Dog(s) must be current on ALL vaccinations before shipping (click CLICK HERE for vaccination details and other important boarding requirements)

• Legal veterinary health certificate required to ship all dogs (usually about $50.00 per dog at your vet's office)

• You pay all shipping costs to and from CPC (Continental is one of the few airlines that has a heated/pressurized cargo area for animals and they take great care to ensure the safety and comfort of your pet(s).

• You provide airline approved shipping crate(s) - hard plastic, not wire cages. (Pet Mate or Vari Kennel are the best and safest)

• During your dog's stay at CPC, we will provide blankets, beds, toys, dishes, training supplies and anything necessary to complete the training of your dog(s). Training supplies provided during training only, they are not available for purchase through CPC. You will have to purchase your own training supplies - collar, leash, e-collar, etc. CPC will offer suggestions on what/where to purchase the highest quality items and for the most reasonable costs.

• CPC will obtain and feed your pet's own specific food - simply tell CPC what brand and if you feed dry only or dry and canned mixed. If your pet requires a special diet, CPC will honor that.

• CPC will provide a very detailed training packet that will be sent to you via email as soon as your payment is confirmed (over night via FedEx if you do not have a valid email address - Yahoo.com and Hotmail.com offer free email accounts to anyone, all you need is a computer and a access to a printer).

How it works:

• Your dog(s) will shipped by air to CPC.

• Your dog(s) will be professionally trained by Suzi Schaefers, master trainer at the Canine Psychology Center, to meet your specifications.

• You can view photos and updates on your dog(s) on the 'YOUR DOG' link on this website - you can also call or email daily to talk to the head trainer about your dog's progress.

• CPC will stay in contact with you throughout the boarding/training period with do's and don'ts for the arrival of your dog(s) back home, as well as training supplies/equipment that will be necessary for you to obtain prior to your dog's arrival back home.

• Your dog(s) will stay at CPC for at least 28 days. If CPC feels that your dog is not yet ready to go home we will keep the dog for an extra week, or more if necessary, at no extra charge!

• Once your dog(s) is/are trained, your dog(s) will be shipped back to you (You pay all shipping costs).

• Contact CPC for pricing details on this program.

Owner follow up:

• You will be given specific instructions on how to properly greet your dog(s) at the airport and when it/they arrive. (Quite often, clients will fly the head trainer along with the dog to ensure a proper greeting and enable one or more days of in-home follow up work in the dog's usual environment.)

• CPC is working on the ability to provide a video of your dog(s) in training, so you can see how to perform the commands/hand signals - this is not available quite yet. Sorry!

• CPC will call you daily for one week (5 business days) once your dog is returned to you to offer specific instructions on how to maintain/reinforce the training in your own environment.

• You are urged to call/email CPC 24 hours a day with any and all questions, problems, issues or regressions. You are welcome to do so for the lifetime of your dog(s).

• Anytime you may be visiting Colorado it is highly recommended you make a trip to see Suzi and have her demonstrate the techniques and methods she used to train your dog(s), as well as show you proper leash handling, collar placement, body language, eye contact, etc., if you do not already know how to do these things. Please call ahead of time for an appointment.

• NOTE: You are also more than welcome to come to Colorado and stay at CPC for one week to have the head trainer show you how to work with your own dog. You pay for all travel and training costs.
