What to Bring |
Read the following articles before attending class

Please bring lots and lots of treats!! Small, soft treats are great for training your dog. They are
easy to chew, quick to swallow and probably very tasty to your dog! Large hard biscuits mean your dog
has to take time to stop and chew. Small pieces of cheese, hot dogs, chicken or steak are good treats. Also you can purchase chewy cat
treats or soft dog food. Anything that is not "normal" for your dog, will excite him/her to follow
your lead!
A toy if your dog is toy motivated!
Please bring a flat buckle collar and a 4 to 6 foot lead with which to work your dog for agility classes.
A 4 foot lead gives you greater control over your dog's actions and behavior.
Please bring a proof of vaccination to your first class. Bordetella, (Kennel Cough) vaccinations are not required however they are a good idea. Your dog will
be socializing with other strange dogs and the chances of passing infection are always there. It's best
to protect your dog, just in case!

What NOT to Bring |
A bad attitude! If you're not feeling well or are in a bad mood, please take a week off. It's best
for you and your dog if you are both in a mood to have fun but also to work together.
Please do not bring flexi leads or training collars to agility classes.
If you feel these items are necessary for agility than we will need to talk before you attend a
class. Additionally, they pose a hazard on obstacles should the dog fall or lose his balance.
If your dog is ill or showing signs of being ill, such as diarrhea, coughing, an infection or skin
problems, please do not bring him/her. Your dog will need to see a veterinarian before coming to
class.
