Please bring the following equipment with you to training each week:

1. a flat collar – made of soft material, not chain;
2. a lead – either leather or cotton webbing, at a length of 80 to 100 cm. Chain and nylon leads are not permitted;
3. a toy – a rope toy is ideal for use in training. Please do not bring balls or squeaky toys to class as they can distract other dogs;
4. lots of tasty treats – rewards are necessary for training as we work with positive methods. Food is the simplest form of reward and should be really interesting, for example something special and yummy such as cheese, kabana, sausage or chicken;
5. a treat bag – the timing of your reward is crucial to mark desired behaviour. Your reward should therefore be easily and readily accessible to either hand; and
6. poo bags – for obvious reasons!
