I am going to start basic training dog is a small dog.what type of collar and leash do I need
They will tell what they want and have you buy it there. Bring cash or check

Speak with the instructors, every dog is different and you might need a certain size, type or length collar. Speciality collars should be used at the trainers direction. Prongs and chokes are safer then buckle or harnesses for training with proper supervision. Have fun.

You may use any regular collar and leash. Prong or choke collars are not advised. I like martingale collars for training.

Mediocre, they didn't want to work with our pup at all. We where ignored the entire time even when we waited after class to ask questions and get help. We went to get some basic training along with help getting our puppy to politely greet and interact with other dogs/puppies, he gets a bit excited and will not listen to commands when other dogs are around. We assumed they would be able to help since it is a puppy class and puppies tend to be easily distracted. Boy where we wrong. On the first night we where told we have to sign up for the next class that night or we would never get a spot. Not even knowing if our puppy had passed the puppy S.T.A.R. Certification. We stopped going 4 weeks in it was a waste of time off work to not see any small improvement. I had called the first time and left a voicemail saying we wouldn't be going to class that night. I never received a call back saying what was taught in class. After the second week I didn't even bother with calling. They clearly don't care about you or your dog. We never received a single call asking if everything was alright or why we stopped showing up to class
Asked if we signed up for next class before knowing if my pup graduated. Later, preprinted certificates were distributed. Everyone gets a certificate but some say participation not graduation. So the question of did I sign up for the next class seemed odd as why would I spend more money to repeat the same course? Just not happy with the entire experience.
Nice instructor!
