I don't live near Los Angeles or Fort Lauderdale. Are the Courses for me?
Are there any prerequisites for attending the Courses?
How many dogs (and humans) attend each Course?
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?
What vaccination records are required? How do I get them to you?
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?
What is the refund policy?
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.
