Old Pueblo Dog Training Club

Spring Classes Canceled

Dear OPTDC Spring Session Class Participants,

As our country has been monitoring the spread of COVID-19, the OPDTC Training Committee and the OPDTC Board of Directors have been reviewing the best way to keep our class participants, our instructors, and our dogs safe. The Board has made the decision to cancel our Spring Session, slated for March 11 through April 22, 2020.

Although having our classes outdoors provides a measure of safety, being able to maintain the recommended 6-foot social distance and ensuring we can have hand sanitizer available is not feasible. In addition, Tucson Mayor Regina Romero has requested that groups of 50 or more not meet so that spread of the virus can be reduced, and many of our instructors and participants are considered to be in a demographic group that makes them more susceptible to the virus.

The OPDTC will offer a refund by check, or we will issue a credit for our next session(beginning in September), or if you desire, you may donate your class fee to Old Pueblo Dog Training Club. 

As you may recall, when you registered for your class, you provided your phone number and email. If you would like for us to issue a refund check, we will send it to your home address. Please email the OPDTC website (OPDTCinfo@gmail.com) to either: 1) request a refund (you will need to provide your home address); 2) request a credit for the next session; or 3) indicate that you wish for the class fees you paid for the 2020 Spring Session to be donated to our club. 

We regret having to take this drastic move but believe it is in the best interest of all concerned.

Thank you for your understanding. Be safe and healthy.

Respectfully, 

Jim Coulter 

OPDTC Training Director
