No exceptions. #2 All dogs must be on a secure collar and leash. Dogs using e-collars must also be on a leash. Prong collars should be backed up with a carabiner. Short leashes are recommended (less than 6 feet). Retractable leashes and harnesses are not allowed as they provide little control. #3 PLEASE NO NOSE TO NOSE CONTACT (dog to dog that is). Always maintain a six-foot distance. #4 Friends or family members accompanying the participant must keep a minimum 20-foot distance from the class area. You are able to swap out handlers during the class, but the person coming to the second class must have attended and at least observed the first class. **WHAT TO BRING:** ➡ Water for you and your dog. ➡ High value treats for your dog (e.g., small pieces of hot dog, boiled chicken breast). Consider not giving your pup breakfast since your dog will be rewarded with treats during this 1-hour class. ➡ Doggie poo bags. Always clean up after your pet. We look forward to seeing you and your dog! Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns: ➡ call 855-527-7261 press 1 for general information ➡ email info@larpbo.org
