Frequently Asked Questions

How much do the course cost?
Tuition for each Course is $495 per dog. The four week puppy course is $350 per dog.
How often do the Courses meet?

Each individual Course (for example, Mastering the Walk) is a six week program. Each Course meets for one hour each week for six weeks.

The Summer courses are condensed for weather. The courses that are $495 per class meet for 1.5 hours each week for four weeks.

The Evening Puppy Basics course meets for one hour each week for four weeks.

Where are the Courses held?

The Courses meet at our two Dog Psychology Centers – Cesar’s original DPC in Santa Clarita, just outside Los Angeles, California and the Country Inn Pet Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I don't live near Los Angeles or Fort Lauderdale. Are the Courses for me?
Unfortunately, no. The Courses meet for an hour once weekly for six weeks, so they are not intended for people who live outside of the Los Angeles or Fort Lauderdale areas. You should live within reasonable driving distance of the DPCs to participate in the Courses.
Are there any prerequisites for attending the Courses?
We welcome all students over the age of 18. Children at least seven years of age may participate in certain Courses under the supervision of their parents. Because Courses involve many outdoor physical activities, including walks on dirt roads, swimming, agility training and hands-on activities with dogs, you should be capable of physical activity in a variety of conditions. Please check the individual Course pages for any specific prerequisites.
How many dogs (and humans) attend each Course?
Course size varies depending upon its nature. Most Courses accept up to 15 dogs. Each dog may be accompanied by a maximum of two humans.
I want to bring a friend to the Course. Can she participate in the training?

While we do permit two people to accompany each dog to the DPC, during the Course sessions it is one-dog, one-human. Guests are welcome to quietly observe, but must stay outside of the training area at all times. Of course, you and your friend can alternate between working with your dog and observing.

May I bring more than one dog to a Course? Do you offer special pricing if I bring more than one dog?
You may only bring one dog per Course – one-dog, one-human. If you would like to bring more than one dog to a Course, your second dog must be accompanied by a second human, who must register separately and pay the full Course fee. We do not offer special prices for multiple dogs.
What vaccination records are required? How do I get them to you?
You may only bring one dog per Course – one-dog, one-human. If you would like to bring more than one dog to a Course, your second dog must be accompanied by a second human, who must register separately and pay the full Course fee. We do not offer special prices for multiple dogs.
When will I know that I’m accepted for a Course?

We will send you an email informing you of your status within one week of registration, usually sooner.

Do you offer special pricing for couples or families?

We enthusiastically welcome participation by couples and families! Course tuition admits up to two people per dog. Children must be at least seven years old to participate and must be supervised by a parent at all times. See our individual Course pages for any exceptions.

Do you offer scholarships or reduced rates?

Yes, we offer the comprehensive Fundamentals of Dog Behavior and Training I course taught by Cesar Millan and his trainers. No severely dog- or people-aggressive dogs will be permitted. Certain other behavior issues are also prohibited.

During registration, you will provide essential information about your dog. TCW trainers will review that information to ensure that the Course is appropriate for your dog (and your dog appropriate for the Course).

If your dog is approved for attendance, you must provide us with proof of current vaccinations and immunizations before you may attend.

If approved, you are wholly responsible for your dog’s care, supervision, safekeeping and behavior during the Course.

Can I get a discount by volunteering or working at the Dog Psychology Center?
We do not offer any special rates for volunteering or working at the DPC
What is the refund policy?
If you cancel your registration more than 30 days before your Courses begin, you will receive a full refund (minus a $25 processing fee), issued as a refund to your credit card or by check. If you must cancel within 30 days before your Courses begin, we are unable to provide a refund. We will work with you to schedule you for another Courses session.
If am approved for one particular Course, can I switch to another one?

Because of the nature of the Courses, you may not switch to another once your registration has been approved. If you are unable to attend a Course, we will work with you to schedule you for the next available Course.
