Missed Classes:  Please let the instructor know you will be away and you can make arrangements to pick up the class on another night the same week.  Sorry, we cannot carry forward missed classes into the following weeks.

Refund policy:  If a student chooses to stop attending classes.  No refunds will be issued after 3 classes have been attended.  (Exception: Veterinary certification of illness or dog in season)

All Sherwood Barks classes are typically full with a wait list….therefore…. it is not feasible to give a full refund, based on the  fact that as a registered student you have taken a spot in a  class preventing anyone else from registering in that spot.
