WaggyTails instructors. Waggytails uses positive training methods, which basically means we use tit-bits & toys as lure - reward. Therefore a bag of tasty treats cut up small & a non squeaky toy are essential training aids. All dogs at Waggytails are worked on flat normal collars, we do not allow choke chains or half checks to be used, as they are not conducive to our methods of training. A harness may be worn, however you will also need a collar on your dog at all times. A flexi lead is not suitable to train your dog in a class situation, a 6 foot training lead is best.
