*FAQs and Dog Gone Fun Guidelines

Welcome to Dog Gone Fun!

Here are a few guidelines to help you get the most out of your activities at Dog Gone Fun!

1.       You may want to bring a crate to contain your dog while he relaxes between exercises or while waiting his turn.

2.      Bring a bowl/water and any clean up supplies you may need.  We require and appreciate your cleaning up any excrement from your dog.  Bring water for yourself as well.

3.      Dogs must be on leash at all times.  Please don’t allow your dogs to potty on the buildings, A/C units or the turf between the buildings.

4.      In some classes, dogs work in rotations.  Observing other dogs in your class and how the instructor responds to their training needs is a valuable part of the learning process and we encourage you to take advantage of these situations in addition to your own personal instruction.  

5.       If Dog Gone Fun cancels a class session, an additional session will be added to the end of the planned class dates.  This happens occasionally when there are concerns about the weather and when special events are planned at the training center.  You will be contacted by the email address listed in your DGF Client Account if there are any last minute class changes.  So, always make sure your email is up to date.  Please note that there may also be times when your usual Instructor is unable to teach your class and a substitute Instructor will be in charge of your class.  This is rare but sometimes happens due to extenuating circumstances.  Classes taught by a substitute instructor count as a regular class meeting and do not give cause to request a make up class session.

6.     If you miss a class session talk to your instructor immediately about a possible make up class.  Make up class opportunities will be considered after the missed class occurrence, are not guaranteed and are based on availability.  Most classes already have the maximum number of students in attendance, so that will limit make up class possibilities.  Scheduling a makeup class depends on an open slot in the same class you missed but on a different day/time and sometimes these openings become available on short notice or not at all.  Please note:  Class fees are not prorated for absences.

7.       If your instructor moves you to another class session, please inform Monica via email (Monica@DogGoneFunAgility.com) that you made that change so that your class fees may be adjusted accordingly. 

8.       Some classes are ongoing.  This is noted in the class description. To join a class session after the noted start date: Please FIRST CONFIRM THERE ARE OPENINGS IN THE CLASS. Simply email Monica@DogGoneFunAgility.com before registering to confirm availability – AND to have the fee prorated so you may be issued an invoice for the number of classes remaining in the current session only.

9.      Cash refunds are not available after the start date of a class.  If transferring to another class is necessary, any excess fees will be credited to you for use on another class.

10.      At the conclusion of your class your instructor will offer suggestions of classes you may proceed to next and also other classes available to you. All classes offered are listed on the DGF website:  www.doggonefunagility.com. If you have questions about classes, email Monica at Monica@DogGoneFunAgility.com.

11.      To keep up to date with new classes and events, consider joining the Dog Gone Fun Facebook group, DGF Updates!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/DGFCLASSES or simply search DGF Updates!

12.       If you need to contact Dog Gone Fun regarding ANY issues please email DGF owner Monica Lindquist: Monica@DogGoneFunAgility.com. This is the official mailbox for all communications, since  messages on social media and private texts may go unseen.  You may also call:  936-827-1612.

** Requests for specific classes/times are always taken into consideration when planning the DGF calendar, so feedback from you is greatly appreciated.**
