Protection Only Group
A weekly one-hour group session with a maximum of three dogs ensuring each dog has plenty of time to advance. This session will cover protection work only. These sessions are held on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and Friday mornings.
Please note:
1. Completion of relevant assessment
Participants must ensure they have completed the necessary assessments prior to attending group sessions.
2. Session length
The duration of each session per dog and handler depends on their abilities. Trainers have the discretion to determine session lengths, striving to maximise the training benefits for your dog.
3. Dog handling during sessions
Typically, one or two dogs are allowed out at a time. It is imperative that your dog can be securely kept in your vehicle during other participants' training times.
4. Weather considerations on warm days
Always bring water for your dog when attending for training, whatever the weather. On hotter days, it is your responsibility to ensure your dog has adequate ventilation/temperature control while it waits in your vehicle for its turn to train.
5. Cleanliness and waste disposal
The K9 Pad has extremely limited waste disposal facilities.. Participants are responsible for removing all waste associated with their dog, including general litter, from the training facility.
Please also be aware that there are no toilet facilities on-site.
