ADOG TRAINING BUDDY LIST FOR ADOG STAFF AND STUDENTS ONLY

  Add your name to ADOG's Training Buddy List
  Update your Training Buddy listing
  Remove your name from ADOG's Training Buddy List

Training Buddy Purpose:

  • Find training partner for weekly training.

  • Find training partner for occasional proofing, in situations where it is necessary to have your dog get used to many new people.

  • Form a training group in your area.

  • Introduce your dog to new training sites and people.

  • Find someone who is willing to give you their time for proofing, putting out articles/gloves/cookies and call patterns etc.

Training Buddy Guidelines:

  • Plan on an agreed amount of time (ex. 30 minutes each) that each of you are willing to devote to the other for help in training.

  • Do not expect a private lesson from your buddy.

  • Be prepared with a plan so that you can tell your buddy what you need and what you would like for them to do.

Other:

  • Since some of us only know each other by face instead of name, feel free to e-mail a photo to include with your listing.

  • At this time, this list is only for ADOG students.
