Information
Sheet
Thank you for choosing Happy Dogs and welcome to what I hope
to make a pleasurable, safe and relaxing training experience
for both you and your dog.
The following information is given to
aid the above and ensure everyone’s safety so please
keep this sheet for future reference.
1. Please keep your dog on lead at
all times unless instructed otherwise.
2. Do not let your dog lunge/pounce
on other dogs/people. This can be disturbing
sometimes resulting in unnecessary stress/aggression
for both parties.
3. Do not worry if your dog has
an “accident” as
this does happen. A mop and bucket is
available but please bring Poo bags and clean up afterwards.
4. The hall is no smoking.
5. Please turn off all mobile phones.
6. Wear flattish comfortable footwear.
7. Spectators are more than welcome
but in order to reduce possible confusion
for the dog and maximize space available only one handler per
dog is allowed on the training area at a time.
8. Please keep children under control.
9. If you are asked to do something
you are unsure/unhappy about then please
ask me to re-explain how/why to do it. If you still
do not want to do it then please don’t,
say so and an alternative option will be given. You
are not being a nuisance as there are always alternatives.
It is my job to help you find what
works for you and your dog.
10. Equipment
required: - Your dog, a lead (not a flexi or all chain) a
fixed collar
(with an identification tag as required by law) and some
tit bits. If anything else is required
you will be advised the week before.
11. You can see from the course sheet
not only training exercises are covered but also
some behaviours i.e. barking, jumping up,
play biting etc. Whilst these are covered generally in class
some behaviours are more specific
to a particular dog and circumstances that don’t arise
in class. It may then be necessary
for individual one to one assistance in the
appropriate environment. I do provide this if needed. Fee: £40
per hour and £5
traveling cost if outside of Chelmsford.
