Prepare for Class

Here are a few guidelines to set you up for success

EQUIPMENT, TREATS, AND PREP FOR CLASSES

Many, many treats!

MANY soft & tiny treats that your puppy LOVES! (No crunchy biscuits please!). A cup and half dry measure for medium to large puppies, ¾ to 1 cup for small to medium dogs. The pieces should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch in size.

Examples of good treats to cut:

• Mozzarella string cheese
• Natural Balance Roll
• Freeze dried organ meats such as liver or lung
• Boiled chicken breast
• Thick sliced deli turkey or roast beef
• Hot dogs
• Freeze dried food toppers or patties

Treat pouches

A fanny pack or treat pouch to hold the training treats so that you can easily access and deliver well-timed training rewards for learning new behaviors. Here are two styles that we recommend.

Flat harness and/or flat collar and 6ft leash

All puppies must wear a snug fitting flat collar or a harness (no choke or slip collars please) and a 4 to 6 foot nylon or leather leash. No choke or slip collars please.

A hungry pup

Bring a slightly hungry puppy, so please feed a small breakfast or dinner before class!
