What would my role be in a dog training class?

No, i'm not taking a dog to be trained myself… i offered myself as a volunteer and i got a couple of replies back saying that they could use my help.

I have never been to a dog training session, so i was just wondering what kind of tasks you think they might give me being neither an owner or an instructor.

My trainer has assistants that help him to check the dog's collars (to make sure they are fitted properly), brew coffee (lol), "fetch" treats from the cupboard to drop in front of the dogs when teaching/practicing food refusal, act as distractions (walking by and snapping fingers, etc). All sorts of fun stuff!

I hope you like it! I did the same thing, and am now apprenticing under my trainer, to become one myself!
