  • Clients will be asked to use hand sanitiser at the beginning and end of classes
  • Clients must also bring their own hand sanitiser.

  • Owners should touch only their own dogs.

  • Clients will have their own designated area within the training field.

If you are or have been ill, have recently been to an infected area or in contact with someone from an infected area please follow the government guidance for self-isolation. Please inform Canine Connections if you have been tested for the virus so we can issue a statement to the other owners.

1-2-1 Services
All 1-2-1 training must take place outdoors with clients and trainer adhering to social distancing guidelines. Initial 1-2-1 consultations will now be conducted via Zoom.

Training Walks
We will continue to provide training walks and will follow the Handover guidelines set out by the CFSG. If you are or have been ill, have recently been to an infected area or in contact with someone from an infected area please follow the government guidance for self-isolation. Please inform Canine Connections and we will discuss each case individually.

Thank you for your co-operation, Lisa & the Canine Connections Team.
