In-Person Training Preparation
To help your lesson run smoothly, please bring:
- Your dog (on a leash—no retractables, please)
- Plenty of high-value treats (small, soft, and something your dog loves)
- A favorite toy (if your dog is toy-motivated)
- Vaccination records (proof of current rabies, DHPP, and bordetella)
- Completed waiver and intake forms (these will be emailed to you before your session)
If you forget anything, don’t worry—we’ll work with what you have and adjust as needed.
Yes. For the safety of all clients, current vaccination records are required prior to your first lesson. Puppies must have at least two rounds of core vaccines and be cleared by your vet to attend.
Your dog should come to class on a flat collar, harness, or head halter and a 4–6 ft leash. No choke chains, prong collars, or retractable leashes, please. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help you choose appropriate training gear.
Give your dog a potty break before arriving and skip a full meal beforehand so they’re more food-motivated during training. Come ready to learn—private lessons focus on both you and your dog!
