Are you being serious, or joking?Wouldn't that come under EDUCATION?
That was my attempt at HUMOR, I was tempted to use a Day Care Reference.Are you being serious, or joking?
Just in case your serious, or if someone else were to read your post and not catch on.... Education is intended for occupancies focusing on the education of school age children of an age greater than 2-1/2 years through 12th grade.
The intent is clearly grade-school like occupancies; not the absolute literal sense of the word education. Yes, training dogs is in a way educating, but I can't see how you would argue that as the intent of the code. Going to a Group-E occupancy would be much more restrictive and complex. Go with Group-B, which includes "Training and skill development not in a school or academic program", "Animal hospitals, kennels and pounds", and "Professional Services" as examples of Group-B occupancies.
305.1 Educational Group E
Educational Group E occupancy includes, among others, the use of a building or structure, or a portion thereof, by six or more persons at any one time for educational purposes through the 12th grade.
