COVID-19 restrictions include: you must check in at the front office for a pass to be on the campground, class will be held in the Smores Activity Building in the back of the campground (follow the signs that read SAB,) only 1 handler allowed per dog per county restrictions of limiting gatherings to 10 people or less and mandatory contact tracing accountability. Upon arrival, you must wash your hands and wear a face covering while indoors (or outdoors within 6’ of another team while entering the building.) I will take your temperature and ask you health questions and document your contact information.
If interested please complete a registration form on arnicadia.com. All questions should be directed to my e-mail (arnicadia@gmail.com,) my main page (Cati Foss,) or my phone 503-468-2559 (text and voicemail accepted!) My class size is limited to 6 dogs only and on a first come first served basis!
Make sure that you bring your standard leash (retractable leashes are not allowed,) a collar or halter (chest harnesses not recommended!,) plenty of training treats and a slightly hungry dog that is willing to learn as well as making sure I can get a copy of your dog's current vaccinations if I don’t already have them on file! Please bring a crate or place to work on settling between turns! You may use sit on the dog between turns if desired or walk around away from the course.
As a note, this class is a foundational starting point for those interested in AKC/ASCA Rally Obedience either recreationally or competitively! Rally obedience (also known as Rally or Rally-O) is a dog sport based on obedience. Unlike regular obedience, instead of waiting for the judge's orders, the competitors proceed around a course of designated stations with the dog in heel position. The course consists of 10 to 20 signs that instruct the team what to do.
All non-aggressive dogs are welcome as they will not be allowed to interact at any point in time.
