What to bring along....
​​
​
This list is not exhaustive, nor are all items necessary.
​
​
High Value Treats
Meat, cheese, liver cake, anything smelly. This really should be something that is high value to your dog. so have a play with some things at home see what he likes the best. Tubes of primula are a good 'no mess' treat and very popular in our house.
​
Low Value Treats
kibble, veg, anything your dog is interested in but doesn't necessarily go wild over. Its fine if he does, its just good to have variety.
​
Toys
Something your dog enjoys playing with, it can be a fancy toy from the shop or a pair of rolled up socks. So long as he likes it.
​
Walking equipment
whatever you usually walk him in. For untrained dogs I recommend a harness, collar and lead. We will work through how and when to use the different items in your session. A slip lead may be used for experienced handlers and dogs who understand heel. A decent longline is very usefull if we are working on recall.
​
Poo Bags
Water
Towel
Positive Mental Attitude!
​
Finally do dress for the weather and ground, we are on farmland and quite high up so it can get chilly in the winter.
