Parental Guidance
Dogs are unpredictable and different breeds are better at different games. Scent dogs may respond to certain games while larger dogs may have a difficult time with crouching down. Older and arthritic dogs or dogs with health issues may not feel well enough to do games. Puppies should be at least 4 months old. Dogs should be able to sit.
Pre-Requisites
Students need to have a dog and have previous experience handling their dog. It would be beneficial if dog knew how to do basic commands such as sit and stay.
