Are you ready for class? Things to remember
We all look forward to our training days and we want everyone to get the most out of the sessions offered by BODC volunteer instructors. The following are a few things that will help ensure that everything runs smoothly and that disruptions are minimised. We only have a precious 30 minutes after all. 
Footwear
For safety reasons, please ensure you are wearing sturdy, closed in footwear at all times.
Parking
Parking behind the clubhouse is restricted to committee members and instructors. Please keep roadways clear to ensure ease of access for all using the carpark. You will need to park on the road if the carpark is full.
Dogs are to be on lead at all times unless instructed to be off lead by an instructor
Off lead play before or after class needs to occur on the tennis courts or in the puppy pens. While your dog may
be okay, it may be cause stress or over excitement for
other dogs.
Signing in prior to class
Please ensure you sign in prior to starting class each week. After your first session, you’ll have a name badge. Please wear it to every session. Signing in and wearing your badge are insurance requirements.
Watch your dog please!
Watch what your dog is doing before and after class and in between exercises. Eyeballing the dog next to them (causing the other dog to react) and marking on equipment must be avoided.
Arrive early
If you are late the instructor can ask you to leave to keep class harmony and dogs settled.
Yellow vest – Give Me Space
Give other members and their dogs who are wearing a yellow high-vis vest space before and after class as well as during training. Please show your respect and support for these handlers and their dogs by giving them ample space.
Mobile Phones
Don’t use your phone in class! If you are expecting an important call, please inform your instructor – remove yourself from the class prior to answering. Check with the instructor prior to re-joining the class.
