Homework - Getting Ready for Week 2

For the rest of your puppy course (weeks 2-6) please bring:

Your puppy!
Bed/blanket
Food Bowl
Brush
Toy
Plenty of small tasty treats (chicken, ham, liver, cheese, sausage etc.)

You may not need all of these things every week but it is best if you ensure you have them incase. Also remember not to feed your puppy their last meal before class on the day of class (e.g. if your class is at 6.00pm, don't feed your puppy tea)
