Also, registering for this course also gives you free access to my Puppy Life-Skills Course Academy, which is a website of a great many videos for all your puppy training and behaviour needs, from how to teach basic behaviours to advice on house-training, chewing and puppy biting. What do you need to bring every week? A lead with a handle; A flat collar; A flat-handled lead; A well-fitting harness; A long line; Your dog's bed or mat; A water bowl and a bottle of water for your dog; LOTS of different sized treats. We may not use a long-line or your dog's bed every week, but please still bring them every week. It is dangerous to use a long-line on a dog without a harness due to the risk of neck injury when a long-line is attached to a collar, which is why we ask you to bring a well-fitting harness with your to all classes. Your dog's welfare and safety is our priority, so we may ask you to sit out of a certain task if safe equipment s not available. Please, no flexi-leads, slip-leads or check/choke collars.
