What to Expect
Training days generally begin with obedience or tracking depending on the needs of the dog and handler. After everyone has had the chance to work their dog in each phase once or twice, protection work may begin.
Helper availability may vary. The club asks that participants consider a small donation, usually $5.00 to $10.00, for helper time and continued dedication.
Dog Crate
Dogs are required to be crated when they are not working with their owners. First-time visitors do not need to purchase a crate immediately, but continuing participants will need one.
Water & Restrooms
Bring plenty of water for your dog. Water and restrooms may not always be available, so plan accordingly.
Poop Bags
All members and visitors are expected to pick up after their dogs.
Training Food
Bring plenty of training bait. Hot dogs or cheese are strongly recommended; kibble is generally not recommended for first sessions.
Leash & Collar
Bring a sturdy leash and collar. Other equipment can be discussed as your training program moves forward.
Release Form
All participants must submit a release form before training. Participants under 18 need a parent or guardian to submit the release form.
