Greetings, Students and Friends of Top Hat and Tails!

We've missed you and hope this finds you all safe and well! We know some of you are eager to resume classes! We therefore are going to try to open things up to current students who had to suspend their programs starting next Monday, June 22.

Please note: All participants are required to observe 6 foot physical distance at all times, with the wearing of face coverings and 6 foot distancing MANDATORY while inside the training facility.

It is imperative before returning to class to please contact me either by phone or e-mail: [email protected], for further instructions, as some of your classes had to shift times and some of the puppy classes (now adolescent) may have to switch days in order to maintain smaller class sizes, especially while indoors.

You also may choose to resume training with private lessons in lieu of your former group classes. Those sessions, in addition to introductory training visits, are being scheduled now, so please call/e-mail in order to secure a time.

And PLEASE keep in mind that we do not check f/b messages, with this page used for info. only. E-mail is the preferred and fastest way to reach us if you would like a reply. If e-mail is not an option, then please leave a v.m.

Thanks so much for your past participation and we look forward to seeing everyone again!

Wait, what's happening?!?! Looks like we may be training a new species here at Top Hat and Tails! You know what they say... "When the (dogs are) away, the (cats) will play!" And they certainly don't mind the social distancing!
