Please take a moment to watch this video prior to the start of K9 Basic Obedience class
Things to know prior to the start of class...
​
1. No sandals in class... must be closed toed shoes (sport / running shoes preferred). You will be walking quickly and sometimes possibly running!
​
2. Family is welcome... but must remain in the viewing area (Behind the cones)... only handlers working dogs will be allowed in the training area.
​
3. All dogs must remain on a leash at all times.
​
4. Please come to class in a 6 foot leash... Always!
​
5. Only use one command... DO NOT REPEAT YOUR COMMANDS!!!
​
6. Keep your left hand off the leash while training.
​
7. Keep all dogs at least 6 feet apart.
​
8. Aggressive dogs (towards people or other animals) must have a muzzle on! No Exceptions!!!
​
9. All dogs shall only have one collar on (Choke Chain)... Remove all flat collars prior to training.
​
10. Anyone handling the dogs must have a waiver signed and on file. (Dog training is a dangerous sport and can cause injury or death).
​
11. It is our recommendation that all handlers have a portable crate at home during the training class (We will discuss this in class). Confine you dogs 20 min. prior to training!
​
12. We prefer one dog, one trainer... although if you want to team train it can be done, but you will get the best results with one trainer!
​
13. Equipment you should NOT use... Prong Collars, Harnesses, or E-Collars (Unless instructed to).
​
14. How do you feed? Demand or Free feed? Do you which is better?

​
16. If you walk your dog daily... talk with an instructor about this the first 2 weeks of class.
​
17. Can I pay half now and half later? No Sorry... we do not offer payment plans!
​
18. Come with an open mind, and be willing to learn... Have fun!!!
