We request all participants and their dogs always remain a minimum of 8’ or more away from each other. Please keep the minimum 8' distance at all times, with or without a dog in hand.

Rental cars(a van or SUV) can be shared to save on expenditures. Please choose the option that you feel safest. If you decide to share a vehicle, ideally only 2 humans and 2 dogs per car.

(Chain leash is a recommended tool to bring for tethering your dog in the car for safety).

Bring athletic/comfortable walking shoes. We will be doing a LOT of walking with our dogs.

This class includes a high amount of activity with a husky/husky mix that will PULL A LOT.

Arrive early at the center each day(suggested arrival between 8:00-8:30 a.m.) to adventure/perimeter walk your dog on the property. Class begins promptly @ 9 a.m.

Bottled water will be available, and we also suggest bringing your own reusable.

The La Quinta in McKinnney and Allen, TX allow pets for a fee and have offered a bagged breakfast for their guests.

You may also try VRBO or AirB&B to find a house. Melissa, Farnersville, Leonard are towns close to the center.

We DO NOT recommend sharing a room. Some of these dogs need the space and no crates will be used. Your dog will be with you 24/7.

Many of the restaurants with outdoor seating in McKinney and Allen are pet friendly(remember your dog will be with you 24/7). There are plenty of grocery stores around(Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Costco) if you wish to purchase food and take it back to your house/room.
