If you are an individual with 2 dogs, you can complete the individual membership, but you cannot train both dogs in a single class. Each dog must be with it's own handler.
If you are a family with one dog, and 2 people will be sharing handling, you need to complete the family membership.
Minors require a parent or guardian to register with the club under a family membership.
Your son or daughter can participate in class with your dog if they are able to follow verbal instructions, and are strong enough to keep hold of your dog.
