Intro to nosework

For your first class:
Flat collar and/or harness for your dog
Leash - minimum 6 ft. We do not recommend use of flexi leashes. Longer lines can be useful (8-12 ft) but not essential
Treats - bring lots of "high" value treats for your dog
A folding chair/camp chair
A portable crate, or a way to keep your dog safe in the car
Ways to keep your dog "entertained" while not with you - stuffed kongs, chew items etc.
