Please note: You must be 12 years or older to train with our club.

Puppy and Beginner's classes operate on a first come, first served, pre-registration basis. 

• If your dog will be under 5 ½ months of age when classes start, you will want to go into Puppy class.
• If your dog will be 6 months or older at the time classes start, you will want to go into Beginner's class.

In order to be placed in a class, or on our waiting list should classes be full, please download, complete and sign either:

1. a Puppy registration form [PDF]
   or a  Beginner's registration form [PDF]; and a
2. NOSA waiver release form. [PDF]  

Mail your completed forms, along with puppy class fee of $100/dog, to our Training Chairperson - mailing address on Amblewood Drive is on the NOSA release form.

Please make your cheque or money order payable to "NOSA".

Membership is not included in your class fee and membership is not required for Beginner or Puppy owners. However, If you are interested in joining the club, you may complete the NOSA club membership form. [PDF]  You are welcome to join the club at any time.

Once your completed forms and fees have been received, your place in class (or on a waiting list) will be confirmed by phone or email by our Training Chairperson.  If you do not receive confirmation within a reasonable amount of time, please email us to ensure your forms have not been lost in the mail.

Should you, for whatever reason, wish to withdraw prior to the first night of class, your registration fee, minus a $10 administration fee, will be refunded.

Your first night of class is Wednesday, Sept. 8.  For this night, and this night only, all Beginner and Puppy owners are to come at the same time (6:00 pm).  Remember to bring proof of your dog's vaccinations, but please leave your dog at home. You will be given an introduction to our club and have an opportunity to meet with your instructor. There will also be a short demonstration of what you can expect to learn from a Beginners class and what you can accomplish should you choose to go beyond Beginners. 

For all other students: Classes start on Wednesday, September 8 at the times indicated in the schedule.

Please read our refund policy.
