K9 TRAINING STRUCTURE – COMMENCING FEBRUARY 2008

In response to issues raised by members and instructors regarding increasing class sizes and the irregular attendance of many members for instructed classes, the training structure for 2007 has been review by the committee and revised.

Instructed classes will be pre-booked by members in 4 week blocks, to allow the club to schedule instructors and assistant instructors to maintain a class ratio of no more than 10 students per instructor.

Class times will be based around 3 sessions of 45 minutes, with 2 rings operating for each session.

Members are to arrive between 6.30 and 6.45pm to allow all equipment to be set up prior to the 7.15pm start of instructed classes.  Members are to move promptly between classes to ensure time is not wasted between sessions.
