Dog Training FAQ

To train a dog in class by yourself, you have to be at least 10 years old. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult in the gym. (Puppy and Manners classes allow the whole family to join in the training sessions, and a parent must be present).

Book your class & pay online. Email your current vaccination records to classes@carolinadogtrainingclub.com

For puppies over 4 months of age and adult dogs: Most vets can print a report showing when the vaccines are due again – this is the best report for our records. It simply shows your name and the dog’s name; the vaccine “name” and the date when it is due to be given to the dog again. For Puppies under 4 months of age: We would prefer to have the schedule from the vet's office, showing the dates when the vaccines were actually given because they are given to puppies as sets of boosters. We will accept proof of 1 vaccine given by a breeder if the sticker from the vaccine vial is shown next to the date given, and as long as the puppy is no younger than 6 weeks when vaccinated. In this scenario, we still require at least 1 set of vaccines to be given by a veterinarian’s office.

**Please note: It is an NC state law that the Rabies vaccine be given at 4 months of age** For puppies over 4 months of age and adult dogs: We require Distemper/Parvo, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines to be given before the dog comes to class. For puppies under 4 months of age: We require proof that at least 2 Distemper/Parvo boosters and at least 1 Bordetella vaccine be given before the puppy comes to class.

Yes. We do not keep track of previous enrollment forms and vaccine history. Therefore, a new shot record needs to be provided with each application.
