2020 health and safety protocols

In-home Private Training Safety Protocols:

  • If you or anyone in your home are experiencing any symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, fever, fatigue, etc. or have been informed that you were exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, please cancel your session. You can text, call, or email me and we will reschedule. There are never any fees for emergency cancellations and you will not lose any prepaid sessions.

  • I would prefer to hold in-home sessions outside. However, I realize that many people do not have fenced-in or spacious yards and that the weather is not always agreeable. I respectfully ask that we maintain a minimum of 6’ distance at all times and that all adults present wear face masks.

Walk n Train Safety Protocols:

  • If you or anyone in your home are experiencing any symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, fever, fatigue, etc. or have been informed that you were exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, please cancel your session(s). You can text, call, or email me and we will reschedule. There are never any fees for emergency cancellations.

  • If you will be home during our Walk n Train session: I will text/call you upon my arrival/our return and I ask that you please meet me at your door.

  • If you will not be home during our Walk n Train session: I will sanitize your door knobs and anything I need to touch in your home (crate handles/baby gates, harness clasps, etc.) before and after our walk.

  • I will be using my own leash in an effort to limit the potential spread of germs.

Group Class Safety Protocols:

  • If you are experiencing any symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, fever, fatigue, etc. or have been informed that you were exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, please do not come to class. You can text, call, or email me and we will get your class made up.

  • Entry and exit will only be through the side door (the door to the training room) of The Raw Connection. 

  • Please wear a mask to class.

  • I will be marking off designated spaces prior to class in order to abide by social distancing requirements. You must stay within your assigned area.

  • Please do not let your dog greet other dogs in class.

  • I will be providing hand sanitizer for you to use upon entry to class.

  • Please bring your own mat and/or water bowl if your dog will need to hydrate during class.

  • Restroom use is limited to employees of The Raw Connection only at this time. Please aim to plan accordingly.

  • Due to limited space and in an effort to minimize the spread of germs, I will not be setting up chairs for class at this time. If you need a chair during class for any reason, please let me know and I will get one set up and sanitized for you.

My Commitment to You All:

  • If I begin experiencing any symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, fever, fatigue, etc. or become informed that I have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, I will reschedule class/sessions/walks with as much notice as possible. 

  • I will be wearing a mask during any/all in-person meetings.

  • I will be sanitizing all doorknobs prior to the start of group classes.

  • I will be sanitizing my hands, car, and training tools before and after each group class, private session, and walk.

  • As always, I will be bringing my own treats and clicker to each class/session.

Thank you for your understanding
