What to pack in your training kit

Classes can be very distracting, so make sure you pack things that your dog absolutely loves.

EQUIPMENT

  • Dog on a flat collar or walking harness* - no check chains

  • 6-foot lead* - I would suggest a cotton blend lead, not nylon

  • Treat bag - you will need to have your treats on you at all times and have easy access to them

  • A bag to put it all in

*Items can be purchased from Learners On Lead, pending stock availability

TREATS

  • Yummy treats, soft, smelly real food cut into small pieces - cooked sausage, BBQ chicken, raw mince etc.

  • Something for your dog to chew on if they need to be distracted for a period of time - The Pet Treat man at the Farmers Markets has great chewy treats!

FOR YOURSELF

  • Sturdy, sensible shoes - you will not be allowed to train in sandals or thongs

  • Hat, sunblock and insect repellant

  • Water for yourself - water is supplied for the dogs

  • Note pad and pen to jot down notes on what we did in class, what you need to practise and any pearls of wisdom
    you learnt during that session

OTHER ACCESSORIES

  • Poo bags

  • Tug toy - no squeakers

  • A mat (station) for your dog

  • Water bowl for your dog (optional)

I know this seems a lot but being prepared and having everything you need will help you achieve so much more in your classes.
