If you are starting Canine Companion Class the first week of the month, be sure that you have downloaded the class manual and watched the narrated video as directed in your registration confirmation email. There are important concepts you need to learn, things you need to start teaching your dog, and information about what to bring that you should think about before the Week 1 class. Doing the pre-work allows for a smooth start to the class so everyone gets the most possible benefit from the experience.
