We accept a limited number of students. $400 of the tuition is a non-refundable deposit that reserves your place in the class. The remainder of the tuition is due 3 weeks before the course begins. Students receive full access to the entire course on the start date, therefore there are no tuition refunds after the course begins.

You will be given 3 months after the program start date to complete the lessons and submit finished projects to Cooperative Paws LLC. Cooperative Paws LLC determines standards for projects. If projects and lessons are not completed on time or not completed to Cooperative Paws LLC’s standards, you will not receive the “Service Dog Coach” certification. No refunds will be given should this occur.
Cooperative Paws LLC will grant you the right to use the SDC logo and the Service Dog Coach Certificate on your website and in your marketing materials if you meet standards for successfully completing the program.
Should you use training tools including choke chains, prong collars, electronic (shock) collars, another aversive tool or technique that hurts the dog, or should you be accused of animal abuse, criminal activity or any behavior that Cooperative Paws LLC believes will reflect poorly or misrepresent the SDC program, your certificate will be terminated and no refund will be given. You agree to discontinue using the Cooperative Paws SDC™ Logo and Service Dog Coach Certificate in your website and other marketing materials if your certificate is terminated.
