Please do not allow your puppy to interact with other people or puppies on your way to and from our meeting spot. We don’t want our puppies to get worried or over excited because their evaluation.
Items to bring with you:
-
- Appropriate clothing such as rain gear, gloves, umbrella, sunscreen, or sunglasses – this class will be outdoors!
- Your puppy on a harness or a regular buckle/snap collar. If your equipment is too loose or you feel like your puppy could slip out of their collar or harness, please use a safety clip or carabiner to clip your harness and collar together. If you’re unsure how to do so, bring a safety clip or carabiner with you and your instructor will assist you.
- A regular 4-6 ft leash, preferably soft nylon, cotton or leather. Please don’t bring your dog to class on a retractable leash.
- An obscene amount of small, amazing treats. You will need about one *full* sandwich bag of treats, maybe more if you have a large puppy. We recommend having a mix of very high value treats (basically anything that will have your dog asking, “What did I do to deserve this?” like deli turkey, steak, stinky sardines, string cheese, Real Meat treats, Zukes Z-Filets, Etta Says freeze-dried liver, Baa-Baa Q’s lamb lung, etc.) and low to moderate value treats (dog biscuits or kibble).
- Clicker (optional)
- An interactive toy that you and your puppy can play tug with together like a long soft toy, long rope, braided fleece tug, ball on a string, etc.
- Poop bags
