IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read the following carefully to help ensure that we keep our dogs and each other safe and get maximum enjoyment from the training.

If you do not understand any of the following please contact Tove.

At the Training Venue:

  • You are responsible for your dog and yourself. If appropriate make sure that you have suitable insurance.

  • The Handlers/Owners are asked to help set out equipment before the start of a class and help tidy it away after the Class.

  • Please wear suitable clothing including sturdy footwear for indoor or outdoor work (no flip-flops or sandals). If the training is on wet grass ensure you have footwear with appropriate grip. Wear warm comfortable trousers and tops. A 'bum' bag or easy access to a pocket is very useful in order to get the reward out quickly.

  • Park only where directed.  You are responsible for your car and its content.

  • Keep your dog on the lead - there may be horses, chickens, cats and other dogs around.

  • Leave your dog in the car or other safe place until your dog is due to start and the previous class has left the school or arena.

  • Do not let your dog mark the walls, gates or equipment at the venue.

  • If your dog does go to the toilet please pick up after him and take it away when you leave.

  • During training the Handler must follow the instructions given by the Trainer to help ensure that all dogs are kept safe; this includes keeping the dogs apart.

  • During the Class all dogs are to be kept on the lead until instructed otherwise.

  • If, in the Instructor's opinion, a dog is found to be overweight or unsuited for agility training, it will not be allowed in the Class until the Owner/ Handler has consulted a vet.

  • A Handler under 16 years of age will have to have a parent present during training who takes full responsibility for the dog and their child.

  • During training please ask if there is anything unclear or you have any doubts about what you are being asked to do.

  • Any dog showing agressive behaviour will be asked to leave the Class. This decision is entirely at the discretion the of the Instructor.

  • You are normally more than welcome to watch the training sessions but please check with the Instructor if this is OK. Please leave your dog in the car as it can be very distracting for the dogs that are taking part in the training.
