Thank you so much for signing your puppy up for our 5-week puppy group class! We are going to do our very best to make this course educational, fun, and practical for you and your dog. 

We will be meeting at Crosby Park starting Saturday, March 22nd, at 11 a.m. 

Here is what you should bring: 

• Your puppy
• 3 to 5 cups of high-value kibble as well as 2 to 3 sliced-up hot dogs and/ or string cheese
• A well-fitted buckle collar 
• A 5-foot-long leash
• A treat pouch
• Potty bags 
• Fresh water and a bowl
• A chair to sit in

You will also need the following training tools once the course starts:

• An elevated pet bed
• A 5 ft long 1/8” British slip lead or a 3/8” martingale collar

These items can be purchased on Saturday before or after the class. Credit cards are preferred. 

Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes before class to potty your dog. Please pick up all waste and dispose of it properly. 

If you can bring a family member, it may be useful for them to take notes and/ or record with a phone. Please bring any family members you would like to bring, but we’d prefer that each puppy be handled by only one adult while in class. 

Now, finally, here is the curriculum of things we will be working on:

• Stay on place until released
• Loose leash walking 
• Coming when called
• Interactive play

I may add more skills once I see how the class is going.

Now, on a final note, you should plan on practicing 2 times a day for 5 to 15 minutes for the duration of the course. All of your sessions should include your leash and a valuable reward. 

Now, if I have missed anything, please feel free to message me at any time. You can message Lily for my direct cell phone number. 

Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you all soon!
