FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Does my dog need to be vaccinated?Yes and no – Dogs can be fully vaccinated or vaccicheck/titer tested.
-
I have done training with my dog before, can I skip beginner training?So we can assess your dog's current training position we always recommend attending a Beginner class. We can then discuss progressing your dog to a higher level if appropriate.
-
What can I do to prepare my puppy for his first class?Socialisation is the key. Even before your puppy has had its vaccinations you can take it out. Carry your puppy in your arms or in a rucksack, take it out and about in your local area. Take your puppy to a family/friend’s house to play in the garden. Build up your play and tuggy with your puppy with different toys. Please keep running ball games to a minimum, as this will be hard on your puppy’s legs.
-
What do I need to bring with me?A hungry dog – try not to feed your dog before class, a hungry dog is more likely to work for treats. Your dog’s favourite toy to play tuggy with. Nice smelly treats for a reward (Chicken & Hot Dog Sausages) Collar and lead (No extender leads)
