INFORMATION FOR DOG OBEDIENCE:
1- Owner is to be in control of k9 at all times.
2- Owner must be able to give corrections & have physical strength to handle K9
3- Proper clothing; closed in shoes, comfortable clothing (no short shorts, low tops)
4- DRINK for K9 and handler(s) Ice is a plus.....
5- Folding chair (for exercises & rest too)
6- Proper collar and lead (varies from K9 to K9 see obedience instructor)
7- No chain or damaged leashes unless approved by instructor.
8- No electronic devices on K9 unless pre-approved by instructor
10-Optional: K9 treats,sunscreen,jackets,treat bags,rainwear
11-Owner/K9 safety is a priority. Keep a safe distance away from the other K9's, UNLESS instructed by the instructor to do
otherwise during obedience classes.
12-If you would like to socailize your dog/puppy before/after class ALWAYS ask the other K9 handler/owner if it is okay and if the
dog is friendly. Socialization is highly encouraged but with due caution.
13-Dog obedience is normally followed by protection work. It is requested by the board that you confine your dog to a safe place
(preferably a ventilated K9 crate) unless you are instructed to do otherwise by the trainer. Most of the K9's are still in their
beginning stages of exercise and no K9 is 100% safe, be it a yorkie show dog or a assistance/guide dog.
14-Express to the instructor your previous obedience instruction given/taken with or without the same dog you are currently
working in obedience. Also what is your "goal" with your K9 (i.e., BH, Schutzhund titles, AKC titles or just a great family
dog with exceptional manners and training).
15-When in doubt always ask. No question is ever stupid. Even instructors are always learning. What may not work for one dog
will work for another.
16- Dog/puppy must be current on vaccines. Proof of rabies & vaccination schedule.
17- It is recommended that you train with your K9 4-6 times a week. If you take a day off in your initial training do not take the
days back to back (i.e., 8th wk training do not take off Saturday and Sunday). Train 15-45 minutes depending upon your
K9's attention span/age and how fast you want to obtain your goal. We can train you to train your dog, but you must be the dog
trainer.
18-On occassion we will have special K9 outings and/or training days (i.e., parades, school functions,beach/lake days,weekend
training camps,trials/compitition & community events/education). I highly encourage you to expose your dog/pup to
as many different situations and make them a positive experience. Ask for ideas.
19-Some exercises may be to physically challenging for you and/or your K9. If so, please advise the instructor and take a
rest/break or do not participate if it will be physically/mentally stressful to you or your dog (i.e., light jogging, working
other dogs that are not yours, length of training).
20-We are here to have fun and learn. Our dogs are here to do the same; most of them anyway. As an instructor I am always
open to new and fresh ideas. Just let me know. I can be contacted in person or via email: k9kilo@embarqmail.com
(Monica Griffith)
21- If you dog needs to eliminate/go to the bathroom, please do not drag him/her. Let them stay where they are to finish. It is a
lot easier to clean 1 pile vs 3 piles. All owners MUST CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR K9. Thank you from GSSCSWFL.
