When you arrive for your class, please LEAVE YOUR DOG IN YOUR CAR and come into the facility to check-in with the instructor. Dogs for this class will be entering and exiting the classroom one at a time.
Have your vet fax us proof of vaccinations (Distemper, Parvo, Rabies, etc.) to (206) 866-6786. You can also bring them yourself and give it to your instructor.
You will need to bring the following items to class:
- Dog on a regular buckle/snap collar, head collar, and/or harness. (We prefer for dogs to be on harnesses if that is a safe option for you and your dog. Please do not bring them to class on a correction collar.)
- Leash – 4-6 foot soft nylon, cotton, or leather (no chain or flexi-leashes)
- An obscene amount of small, amazing, soft treats – You will need about one *full* sandwich bag of treats, maybe more if you have a large dog. Variety also helps, so bring a few different types.
- Treat pouch – some way to easily access your treats.
- Tug / squeaky toy – If your dog loves toys, this is a great time to use them in your training! Bring their absolute favorite, or even get a new one to turn into their agility-only toy.
- Food puzzle – You may want to bring a stuffed Kong (or two!), a bone, or other long-term chew to help your dog relax during their down time.
- Dog bed for your dog to lay down on. We will have crates available for you to use, but many dogs will prefer to settle on their own mat or bed.
Our priority in this class is to ensure that all of the dogs and owners are safe and comfortable. To that end, we will have the dogs separated by fences with curtains that will give each dog their own private station to relax in when it’s another student’s turn on the equipment. You may want to remove or silence your dog’s tags before class to reduce the chances that another dog reacts to them.
See you in class!
