PRE-CLASS INFORMATION

Wise Canine Training & Behavior is owned and operated by Michelle Wieser, KPA CTP

Welcome to Wise Canine Group Classes

By signing up for classes with Wise Canine you have already demonstrated that you want the best for your dog. Now, with a little work and a lot of fun, you and your dog will build foundation skills for a lifetime of learning.

Pre-Class Learning

Prior to attending your first class you may want to know a little bit about canine body language, and clicker training. We use clicker and marker training in most of our classes.

Directions & Rules

We’re located at 95 Lewes Boulevard in the Leisure on Lewes Mall (mall where the Bowling Alley is located)
Do not potty your dog on the property, when you arrive, walk through the alley and use the forested area behind the chain link fence.
Always pick up after your dog. Place poop bags in the wooden garbage inside the training space, to the right of the door.
Outdoor shoes must be removed when entering the training space.

What to bring to class?

A full baggy of yummy treats cut into tiny pieces (cheese or hot dogs work well) and bring WAY more treats than you think you'll need.
Please refrain from bringing toys or engaging in high-energy toy play during class. This can be distracting and arousing for other dogs, making it challenging for everyone to focus. We encourage you to enjoy toy play at home to strengthen your bond with your dog.
A water dish, we no longer have communal water dishes to prevent the spread of canine respiratory illnesses.
Harness, flat collar, or head halter (no martingale, choke, prong or e-collars please).
A treat pouch, fanny pack, or sweater with a front pouch.
Regular leash (no flexi leashes please).
Indoor shoes or slippers if desired.
A snuffle mat if you have one, and feel that it may help to relax your dog.
Dogs who are less food motivated may benefit from eating a smaller meal before class, or eating dinner after class.
The entire family is encouraged to attend class. Anyone under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Children under 8 should have two adults present (one puppy parent and one child parent).
