Thank you for choosing RDOC for you and your dog’s training. Let’s give you some ideas to help make your classes with us successful!

Please arrive to class 15 minutes early so you have time to potty your dog and get settled in your space. IF there is a class before yours, an assistant will let you know when it’s ok to enter. Please give the exiting teams plenty of space.
Our classroom is the last building on the left. There will be a little green man marking the doorway
Do not feed your dog his meal prior to class. Rather, please bring that meal in a container to use as treats
Please also bring a large container of his favorite training treats—best they be small, soft, and easily chewed
Please don’t allow your dog to sniff or play with other dogs.
Please do not come to class if you or your dog are sick
We encourage you to bring a Kong or other stuffable toy to occupy your dog while in his stationary place
Please bring your dog to class on a collar or harness, with a 4-6 foot leash. No flexi-leads please! If you aren’t sure about collars and harnesses, we will be demonstrate different choices on week 1!
Training is hard work, your dog will get thirsty, so please bring a water bowl. We will have water for you to use.
Please fill out the attached survey and return to your instructor prior to the first class.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in class!

Sincerely,

Richmond Dog Obedience Club

We train you to train your dog!
