What you will need to bring to class

At Dogtivities, we use treats and toys as motivation to reward your dog. Bring plenty of small sized treats. Soft food is preferred. Although dogs love rich flavoured and fragrant liver pieces, we do not want any treats to get caught while your pup is training. If your pup loves a ball or tug, please bring this along.

We will assist you to train your pup on the collar or harness that you usually use. We do not require you to purchase special equipment to attend our training. If we believe that you may benefit by using other equipment, we will discuss this with you and help you try new options so that you and your pup have a good experience. However, puppies must not be trained on a slip chain for safety reasons.

We do ask that you bring a safe and standard length lead. I am not a fan of chain leads as I do not want handlers to get hurt if a dog does lunge. If you bring a chain lead, we will offer you an alternative to borrow during class for your safety.

Aggressive dogs

Although puppies are not usually aggressive, aggressive pups will not be accepted in this group. If you think your pup may be aggressive, please contact us immediately for an assessment as individual training can be arranged to progress an intervention, tailored to your pups needs.
