Your first dog training class should not feel intimidating. A little preparation can make the first day smoother for you, your dog, and everyone in class.

Bring the Right Equipment

Bring the leash, collar or training equipment recommended by the trainer, treats, water if needed, and anything listed in your class instructions.

Do Not Overfeed Before Class

If your dog is food motivated, you want them interested in rewards. Avoid a huge meal right before class.

Give a Potty Break First

Arrive early enough to let your dog potty before class starts. This makes it easier for your dog to focus.

Keep Expectations Realistic

Your dog may be more distracted in class than at home. That is normal. Class is where dogs learn to work around distractions.

Come Ready to Learn

Dog training is handler training too. Your timing, body language, and consistency are part of the lesson.
