Gift Certificates:   HVOC has the perfect solution for gifts. We now offer gift certificates in any amount that can be spent at HVOC for classes, equipment, banquet tickets, even entries for our own trials.  It's a good thing to remember for birthdays, new puppy gifts, or just to be nice!  These certificates will be spent the same as cash; the buyer selects the amount.  For more information, or to order a gift certificate, please contact Marsha Pay.

Registration Payments Via PayPal:   Fees for classes may now be paid using either PayPal or check.  There is an additional $4.00 handling fee for using PayPal.  Instructions for payment will be provided after the class registration form has been submitted.

Parking on the Grounds:   Parking for our training grounds is limited to any of the spots adjoining our fenced field.  There is plenty of overflow parking in the dirt area behind our field.  The weeds have been cut and parking is a little more organized back there now.  Please don't block the entrance and exit point though.

Beginner I Training Materials:   Beginner I Summary  and Beginner I Weekly lessons are now available on-line in Word format.

They are also available in pdf format: Beginner I Summary  and Beginner I Weekly lessons.

Policy Regarding Children on Training Grounds:  Hidden Valley Obedience Club has instituted a policy regarding children on the training grounds.  It can be found on the Classes page of this web site and is as follows:  Due to the potential for injury, no children under 10 years of age can be on HVOC's training grounds without supervision and permission from the instructor of the class.  A parent is the primary trainer in class in the Puppy and Beginner I class.  If children do accompany a parent and get permission from the instructor, they must sit quietly by the fence and not be disruptive to other dogs and classes.
