Question 1

Do you have any tips you can give me about working dog school etiquette?

Accepted Answer

The one expectation is to be considerate of others - being considerate of the kind person that offered their property on the day by tidying up after your dog! Unsettled dogs can be disruptive to others, if this is your dog, be considerate by excusing yourself to pacify/relocate to minimise impact.

Question 2

As a PARTICIPANT (with a working dog), what do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

In addition to the items listed above, you might find it beneficial to have a short and long lead, and if you'd like to familiarise your dog with your own rake (see pics above) you're welcome to bring your own leaf rake - we use these https://www.bunnings.com.au/44cm-plastic-leaf-rake_p3350684

Question 3

As a SPECTATOR, what do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

We always suggest you bring a hat, your own chair and your own refillable water bottle. Given the time of year, perhaps a pair of gum boots might be advisable!

Question 4

Are my rates paying for this workshop?

Accepted Answer

No. This event has been funded through external grants from the State Government under the Community Recovery Hub and Local Government Support Fund grants.

Question 5

Can I attend, WITH MY DOG, to more than one workshop?

Accepted Answer

No. Please limit yourself to ONE workshop as a participant with your working dog. Feel free to register as a SPECTATOR to either (or both) of the other workshops that you're not registered as a participant in.
