Who this list is for
This checklist is for dog owners attending an instructor-led dog agility class. It’s designed for people bringing their own dog to a group or private session, especially if you’re new to agility or using a community training facility. The list helps you organize treats, gear, and records so you can focus on training, not scrambling for supplies.
How to use this list
Start by confirming your class booking and checking if vaccination records are needed. Prepare a flat collar or approved harness, and attach a sturdy leash. Portion out small training treats and load your treat pouch. Fill a water bottle and pack a bowl for breaks. Bring waste bags for clean-up, and if your instructor requests it, a crate or mat for your dog to rest. Toss in a towel for muddy paws or wet weather.
Common mistakes
Many handlers forget to bring vaccination records, which can prevent entry. Skipping the treat pouch or bringing oversized treats slows down training. Some people arrive with retractable leashes, but most classes require a standard leash for safety. Leaving out a water bowl or waste bags means unnecessary interruptions. Not packing a towel can leave you unprepared for wet or dirty conditions.
What is on this list
You’ll find class booking, vaccination records, a flat collar or harness, leash, small training treats, treat pouch, water, bowl, waste bags, crate or mat if needed, and a towel. Cross off items your facility already provides or those your dog doesn’t need. Double-check the list before heading out to avoid last-minute stress.
Day-of
Arrive a few minutes early to settle your dog and check in. Keep treats handy in your pouch and use your leash to guide your dog between exercises. Offer water during breaks and use your towel if conditions are messy. Clean up after your dog and thank your instructor at the end. Pack up all your gear before leaving so you’re ready for the next class.
