NOTE: Dogs will wait in the car until their turn. When you arrive at the facility, come in without your dog for a briefing on what we will be doing and for the order the dogs will come into the classroom.
Before class:
- Vaccination records. Email us your vaccination records (a picture is also fine) or contact your vet to have them fax us proof of vaccinations (Distemper, Parvo, Rabies, etc., this is usually a receipt) to (206) 866-6786. Have them write “Ahimsa Dog Training class” on the first page or cover sheet.
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.
Our priority in this class is to ensure that all of the dogs and owners are safe and comfortable. Please do not get your dog our of the car until the previous dog is secured in their car.
See you in class!
