What Class Looks Like
Each week, we learn new tricks and practise good manners around other dogs and people. You'll also learn how to practise tricks like jumps and paw ups at home, using things you already have, with no special equipment needed. During class, dogs can sniff and say hi to each other on leash.
What to Bring to Class
- A flat collar, a harness, or both
- A fixed-length leash Any length is great, as long as it doesn't retract.
- A variety of treats your dog will love Bring a few different favourites so we can find out what your dog loves best!
How Many People Can Join?
To keep class comfortable for all the dogs while they're learning, each dog can bring up to two people. You're welcome to switch who comes each week, as long as one person is 18 or older. Junior handlers (under 18) are always welcome to join and take part alongside a parent or guardian.
