What to know for Your first training

Don't feed your puppy 1 1/2 hours before class as driving in the car can upset their tummies and they will be more responsive to treats if they are not full. Remember to bring venison chewie, a filled Kong or similar long lasting food rewards and tons of little treats (which you can also buy at the location).

We will insist on your dog having something to chew on (meaty, not just a plastic or rope toy) in order for them to learn to be calm around the other dogs and for everyone being able to focus. If you don't bring anything, there will be chewies for sale at the location. Venison is our go to.

TREATS

o It is up to our dogs to decide if something is an actual reward or not! So, you have to know your dog and see if they’re working "enthusiastically" or not. If they’re distracted, sniffing around, taking the treat without really paying attention to you and going back to their business it means that the value of the treat is not high enough. o Make it worth working with/for you. Always have the yummiest mixture of treats, especially when dealing with fear, but also when dealing with distractions. o What are good options? Cooked chicken, cheese, sausages, ham, any other meaty yummy stuff from the supermarket. Happy Pet Freeze Dried Venison Heart from us, Ziwi Peak (the food rather than the treats as it’s cheaper) and Orijen cat food from pet.co.nz. Their Addiction treat range also sounds good although we haven’t tried that one yet. o What needs to stay home? Your normal kibble, highly processed supermarket treats, massive treats that can’t be broken up. o Make treats pea sized and have them prepared before the training session. They need to be kept handy, either in a treat pouch or bum bag or easily accessible pocket.
