LADOC CLASS REGISTRATION GUIDELINES

HOW TO REGISTER FOR LADOC CLASSES: Class schedules and fees are posted on the LADOC website on the upcoming classes page and at the LADOC Training Center (246 East Road, next to East Park in Los Alamos) approximately one month before classes start. Mail in your registration form along with a copy of your dog’s current vaccinations and other documentation for reduced registration fees (if applicable—see below) during the registration period indicated on the class schedule page. Registration is FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED, and our classes often fill quickly, so we recommend timely registration.

• Registration forms are available online (in pdf format) and at the LADOC Training Center.
• Do not send money with your registration. Class fees will be collected the first night of class. If you register for a class, and fail to show without notifying the registrar, you will not be eligible to register for future LADOC classes. Payment for classes on the first night may be made by check (to “LADOC”) or cash.
• If classes fill, we will place names on a waiting list and do our best to schedule additional classes. If too few students enroll in a class, the class may be cancelled. You will be informed by phone or email at least 3 days before classes start if your class is full or cancelled.
• If you provide an email address on your registration, we will contact you by email to confirm your acceptance into the class for which you are applying. Your email address will NOT be given, sold, or used for any other purposes except to contact you about the class for which you are registering.
• We strongly recommend one primary handler for each dog for the duration of the class. Children under 15 are not allowed to handle dogs in class without specific approval from the instructor. A parent or guardian must also be present during instruction. For the safety of the child and our other class participants, if the child proves not to be able to handle the dog or is inattentive in class, a parent or guardian will be asked to handle the dog.
• Dogs that are aggressive toward people or other dogs will be dismissed from the class at the discretion of the instructor. Please contact the instructor or Director of Training prior to the class if you have concerns about your dog’s behavior in a group setting.
• For the PUPPY KINDERGARTEN class, the minimum age for enrolling a puppy is 12 weeks on the day class starts, and the maximum age is six months.
• A 30% discount is available for dogs adopted from Animal Shelters or Rescue organizations for the first class the dog takes from LADOC. A copy of the proof of adoption must be sent in with your registration. A 30% discount is available for students currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program. A copy of the proof of enrollment must be sent in with your registration.

The following are required for registration:

• A copy of proof of current vaccination:
  1. For puppies under 4 months of age, proof that the DHPP series of vaccinations has been started is required.
  2. For dogs older than 4 months, proof of current DHPP and Rabies vaccinations is required.
• If a dog was vaccinated by a breeder (instead of a veterinarian), a letter from the breeder is required noting such along with the vaccination schedule that was followed
• If you are following a reduced vaccination protocol with your dog, or vaccinating your dog yourself, then current titre reports from your veterinarian are required.

We may be able to accept late registrations if space is available—contact the registrar for instructions.
