What do you need for training classes?

• High Value Treats for rewards – please avoid low value foods such as kibble and do not feed your dog prior to training.
• A favourite toy or tug for engagement with your dog.
• Members whose pups are in classes puppy A and B, are welcome to bring their puppies to the registration desk when signing in and remain under the covered area to encourage socialisation.
• Members with adult dogs are advised to leave their dogs in their cars while signing in then retrieving there dogs and heading directly out to the main training area.
• Heat Policy:  If the forecast is to be greater than 35 degrees celsius on a planned training day, the branch will be closed and no training will be conducted for the safety of both our members and our loved four legged friends. Please refer to our heat policy under Training in the navigation menu. Lightning storms are also considered a risk and may lead to cancellation of training.
• Dogs must remain on lead before and after training while on the training ground and moving to and from vehicles.

**Dogs Wearing the Yellow and Black “In Training – GIVE ME SPACE!” Saddles or Bandanas, need to be given space. These dogs may be anxious, nervous or exhibiting fear on approach and need to be given time and space. They may be pregnant, old and fragile or simply young and shy and easily knocked over. 

So, please be polite and ask if it’s alright to approach the dog.

If you would like an ‘In Training – GIVE ME SPACE’ saddle or Bandana please see the Chief Instructor.

Remember polite socialising is done calmly and on a loose lead!
