Due to the VERY practical nature of this course we recommend you bring a dog with you for the duration of the course.
All attendees bringing their own dogs to the course must take responsiblity for their dog’s comfort and welfare.
Approximately 80% of this course is hands on practical training that takes place outdoors, if you are unsure whether your dog will be comfortable in this type of group class environment which includes other attendees and dogs, please leave them at home to chill.
There is some indoor classroom time during which your dog will need to be happy and comfortable in your car, taking a well earned rest, please do not bring your dog if they cannot be left alone or if you dont have a vehicle to leave them in. An IMDT member of staff will be monitoring your dogs.
You are welcome to attend without a dog and you will gain as much from the course as you would if you did bring one.
If you are unsure please email alison@imdt.uk.com or liz@positivedogtraining.ie
