Preparing for Your Class or Lesson

What to Bring & What to Expect at the Facility

A little prep goes a long way toward a great class! Here's everything to bring from home and what to know once you arrive at our Groton facility.

Things to Bring From Home

High-value treats

3-4 soft, high-value treat varieties your dog enjoys — meaty, stinky, and pinky-nail size or smaller. Most commercial training treats need to be cut down before class, so bring at least 1 cup's worth!

Treat or bait bag

A training treat/bait bag keeps treats within easy reach during class.

Harness or flat collar, and a 6-foot leash

A comfortable harness or an appropriately fitted flat collar, paired with a standard 6-foot leash. Slip leads, prong/pinch collars, and e-collars are not permitted on premises.

Poop bags

Always bring some along for outside cleanup.

Notebook and pen

Optional, but handy if you'd like to take notes during class.

Your dog!

At the Facility

Arrive 5-10 minutes early to give your pup a chance to walk around, sniff, and potty. Always give them the chance to potty when you arrive — yes, even in the rain or snow!
Pick up after your dog! :)
Keep 10-15 feet away from other teams if the parking lot is busy at your arrival or departure — some dogs are defensive about being approached on leash.
Look through the window on the door before entering and make sure no other dogs are in the entry airlock. One dog at a time in that space, please!
We have a small and growing retail area. Exact change is required if paying with cash — we also accept Venmo or can invoice you for payment by card.
