To reduce the risk of covid 19 Planet K9 is taking the following precautions:
All classes will be held outdoors until further notice. The area is fully fenced and safe.
Classes will be restricted to one person per dog. Your whole household is encouraged to watch the training but will need to sit in family groups in “bus shelters’ that we have around the ground and watch from a distance. You can swap handlers during the class so that everyone is involved but there must be a maximum of 9 people in the class at one time plus your Trainer.
We have a large area and can keep at least a distance of 1.5m between people in the class.
Planet K9 will provide hand sanitizer and it is important to sanitize your hands before you touch the dogs.We have face masks available if you wish to wear one.
Please sneeze or cough into your elbow if you need to.
Toilet facilities are available on site. Please use hand sanitizer before entering and after exiting.
If you or a member of your household have a fever or sore throat at any time during the course please do not attend, We can arrange a make up lesson for you when you are well again.
