COVID-19 HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES
| Information on COVID-19 safety measures from the Canadian Association of Professional Dog Trainers |
Our health and safety protocols:
Indoor protocols:
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us ensure the safety of everyone. Together, we can ensure we have an enjoyable and safe experience working with our dogs!
- Participants who are sick or feeling unwell are asked to stay home and to err on the side of caution, if you are not sure of your health status. Participants who have been in contact or possible contact with someone who is sick or diagnosed with COVID-19 are asked to stay home and must quarantine for two weeks before coming to class. We will apply credits for classes that are missed for these reasons.
- Social distancing at the recommended two metres will be practised at all times.
- Classes will take place outdoors as much as possible, with training stations at safe distances.
- Participation in outdoor classes will be limited to two people per dog. When working indoors, participation will be limited to one person per dog. This means that, for now, children will not be able to participate in our classes.
- If we take your leash to do a demo with your dog, or otherwise come closer to you than two metres, we will wear a mask.
- Please bring a mask to class and have it available at all times in case it is needed.
- Hand sanitizer will be available and you are asked to sanitize your hands before entering the training area.
- When you arrive at the location, please stay by your car until directed where to go by the instructor.
Indoor protocols:
- Participants are requred to wear a mask at all times when working indoors.
- Training stations will be well placed to allow everyone to work safely at a minimum six feet from each other.
- One person per dog when indoors in order to limit the number of people in the building.
- Participants are asked to use the hand sanitizer provided at the building entrance when entering and leaving the building.
- High touch areas will be frequently sanitized.
- Floors will be sanitized before each class.
- Platforms will be provided for the dogs and sanitized before and after use.
