Pearl St. Park Group w/ Turk

All Levels Group Lesson: This is an Outdoor Event

Pearl St. Park Group Expectations

Please Note: If there is a sporting event Parking will be challenging. Please give yourself extra time

This is a great beginner group for newly qualified handlers, and a very nice group to expand your the skills if you’re an experienced handlers. Turk runs a fluid group lesson to help each person get better. 

We will start with Meet & Greet and let the group’s skill set determine how we will proceed. By the end of the group lesson you will be much better handler.

Some of you drive 40+ minutes. So we have established some general rules to cut down on unnecessary travel time.

🔥 General Rules:

• Group Lessons are cancelled Above 90 degrees or below 32 degrees and/or heavy rain 1 hour before any group lesson
• We begin at the posted time promptly. We will stay 15-30 minutes after the group for Q&A
• Always follow leash laws. We require all dogs leashed at the beginning of the group lesson.
• Do not let your dog rush up to other people’s dogs before the group.
• Aggressive Dogs must wear muzzle unless directed otherwise.
• Group Lessons are what we work on Advanced Handling Skills. If this is your first group lesson expect it to be hard (that’s where the fun/growth is)
• Having fun is required. If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong 😜
