2. Each dog is guaranteed at least 3 hours of working time outside their crate throughout the day as we assess the individuals alignment, movement, and work through a variety of exercises.
3. I cannot emphasize enough that being able to rest quietly between working time is incredibly important. We will be working your dog’s body as well as their brain, so recharging is critical for both of you to get the most out of your workshop.
4. Please bring a variety of treats, ranging from very low level reinforcers, to very high level. If your dog likes a toy, feel free to bring that along with a variety of treats.
5. Bringing a chair, writing utensils / tablet and an optional tripod to record your own dog will be help you get he most out of your experience.
