Preparing for your first lesson

Items to have:

6 foot leash, preferably less than an inch in width. You may find this more
comfortable to handle.  We prefer cotton leads as opposed to nylon leads for
obedience.
(No chain leashes, or Flexi Leads please)

A Buckle, Flat collar for your dog. Please do not use choke collars.

At your first lesson, you will be supplied with a clicker. Please bring this clicker to
subsequent lessons.

Treats enough to last a training session. This could be as many 3 hot dogs cut
in half, length wise and again in small slices. Cheese, dried liver, Cheerios,
etc, may also be used. You are expected to supply training treats for your dog.
One of our favorites treats is Natural Balance Dog Food Logs.  Any of our local pets stores know what we recommend for treats.  Just ask.

We suggest that you not feed your dog's meal just before a lesson.  It may help
with his motivation. 

Wear clothing that has pockets or wear a small fanny pack to put treats in.

Wear comfortable clothing that you can move around in and don’t mind getting dirty.

Non-slip shoes.  Flip Flops can be cumbersome.

If you need additional items to help you with a comfortable and productive
training experience, please visit BASICS PLUS Pet Store in Ketchum or Hailey, or Thunderpaws in Ketchum.  They carry the following items we use in our lessons: 

6 ‘ Cotton Training Leashes

Premier limited slip collars, especially good for puppies

Gentle Leader Head Collars

20' to 30' Cotton Long Lines 

Additional Clickers $ 2.50 each

Good Luck and Thank you for asking us to participate in the
educational needs of your dog or puppy!
