Questions: What do I have to do to become a Member, what are the costs, what kind of additional costs will
there be?
Answer: To become a Member of our local club you have to come to our regular training 4 times with the
cost of $15.00/per session. Our Trainers will evaluate your dog and then will give his ok for you and your
dog joining the club.
Once you have the ok from one of our trainers, you will be asked to fill out 2 applications, one is our local
club and the other one is the application to the Parentclub. Our Local Club fee is $ 40.00/year the fee for
the parent club is 60,00/year. After you receive your Parent Club Membership number your membership
will be voted on by the Board of Directors/Club Members. Once you are a Member there will be no training
fees for our Club activities anymore, training is included in the Memberhip. There is no application fee
Question: What do I have to bring to training, will there be shade and water for the dogs?
Answer: Yes we do have Water for the dogs and we have a few small event Tents and a shady tree for you
and your dog. The only thing you have to bring is yourself and your dog. And if you want to sit down once
in a while you need to bring your own folding chair. Wear property closing (shoes) and bring a leash, if
your dog is strong and not thru obedience you should bring the right collar Our Trainers will advise what
kind of collar your dog might need. Please make sure your dog has all required shots.
Question: My dog is older - can we still come? I have a dog and would like to come but he/she is not a
German Shepherd dog - is that ok?
Answer: Yes you can, even an older dog can still learn tricks if he/she has fun in doing so. Yes we work
with all breeds of dogs,no exclusions because of breed, pedigree. Our Trainers will judge/evaluate the
dog and then tell you if they think your dog should train or if or if not there is a way to proceed further
into training. This has nothing to do with breed or mixed breed - it has something to do with your dogs
willingness to learn
Question: My Dog is still a puppy, when can we come and participate in your club activities?
Answer: As soon as you Puppy has all Puppy Shots you are more than welcome to join us for training and
activities. Showing your puppy the "big wide world" is very important for its future. A Puppy can not learn
early enough to socialize with other dogs and humans. Before you come - please make sure your Puppy
has all required shots.

Question: I need to boarder my dog, do you know a good Kennel?
Answer: We understand it is hard to find a good Kennel, specially with a big dog breed. You might want
to check out Brower Kennel and Grooming in North Fort Myers, They just changed owner ship and the
new owner has the goal to become the Number 1 Kennel in the State of Florida. They are working very
hard on it. We did not test this Kennel ourselves but it has a good reputation. And you might want to
check it out yourself. Here is a link to their Web Site: http://www.browerkennel.com
