FAQ for SmartyPaws
What should I bring with me on the first day of class?
For KinderPuppy and Basic Obedience Courses, no dogs on the first day of class; all of our other Courses please bring your dog on a regular leash, 4ft - 6ft long is perfect. No retractable leashes. The first day of class your trainer will ask for a copy of your shot records. Your dog needs to be updated on all shots (Bordetella, Distemper, Parvo, & Rabies) and have a negative fecal test that is at least 6 months recent. Also bring some small bite treats for your dog and you will be all ready to start class!
