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?

​

15.  Homework... yes there is homework 6 nights a week!  2 times a day for about 10 minutes each.

​

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!!!
