WHAT TO BRING TO TRAINING AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS
• Your dog's lead and harness. Retractable leads, slip leads, electric shock collars, spray collars, half check collars, pronged collars and head collars or any device that causes discomfort, pain or fear are not acceptable.

• HIGH VALUE TREATS. These must be NON-CRUMBLY. Later you may be asked to bring “sticky ham”. This is the very cheap wet looking wafer-thin ham from supermarkets.

• Your dogs water bowl and water. Sniffing can make them thirsty.

• A sun cover for your car in sunny weather and a fan. Your dog's safety and comfort are your responsibility.

• A sense of humour. Dogs learn at different speeds just like us. As long as you are both having fun it’s ok.

• Family members are always welcome in our classes, but we require just one person to train your dog in class. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Please ask before bringing someone.

• Please keep your dogs on leads at all times unless otherwise directed by your trainer.

• The fun of training in a class is likely to excite your dog so keep a firm hold of your lead.

• Please be respectful of other dogs and their handlers and ask the owner’s permission before approaching or allowing your dog to approach others – not all dogs are comfortable around other dogs or people.

• COVID 19

If you have any symptoms or tested positive with covid, isolating, been abroad or been in contact with anyone that has Covid symptoms, please stay home. We must all do whatever we can to protect us and others Selby Sniffers. Please follow Government guidelines.

• Training area. We may be inside or out so make sure you have appropriate clothing.

Bitches in Season
Bitches may not be feeling their best throughout their season. They may be “grumpier” and less comfortable around other female dogs, and male dogs will be well aware that she is in season and hassle her if given the chance. We don’t allow in-season dogs in our group classes because this can be stressful for all the dogs as well as disruptive to the class and the dogs’ learning. Even neutered male dogs, let alone intact ones, can be easily distracted and can sometimes be quite obsessive towards females in season. Your dog may not be feeling wonderful anyway and may feel particularly uncomfortable and defensive in a group class setting.
Our classes may include young, intact dogs who are at various stages in their training journey. While intact male and female dogs can certainly learn to stay engaged and focused on their owners, doing so while around a female who is in season is incredibly hard work and is a huge ask even of a well-trained dog.
We never want dogs or their humans to miss out on training. We strongly encourage owners to attend class without their dog if she comes into season, so they can see the training in action and speak to their instructor if they have any questions before applying the training with their dog at home.
