Classes with your dog will start the week of May 7th.   Bring LOTS of treats!

We have ADDED another class time for our Beginner Obedience Class.  

  • This class is for dogs who have either completed Puppy Class or know the basic commands or are 6 months or older. 

Price per class: Nonmembers-$70   Non-active members-$50    Active Working Members-$10

The first class will be held on Monday evenings from 7:00-7:45 pm and taught by Cathy Kishel.  Thank you Cathy for taking on a second class so we are able to break up such a big group so everyone gets the attention they deserve!   Thank you people and dogs also :) ! 

The second class will be on Wednesday evenings from  6:00 – 6:45 pm and taught by Deb Motley.

PLEASE NOTE:  The first week of this session (May 7) will NOT have the Monday night Beginner Obedience Class ..all attendee’s will go to their first class on WEDNESDAY May 9th at 6:00 pm.  This way each class has the same information heading into it.  The FOLLOWING week (May14th) is when the two classes will be held separately.

The AGILITY FOUNDATIONS class has also been changed - it will be taught by Sandra Tuominen but will now be held on THURSDAYS at 5:30 pm.   before the 4-H Class. 

  • Beginner foundations class is for dogs and handlers who have never done agility before or want to retrain their agility foundations.  We will start with basic ground work necessary for all crosses, beginning weave and contact obstacle training.  This class will be for teams who want to have a safe and reliable foundation for agility work and would like to possibly explore competing in the future.

Price per class: Nonmembers-$70   Non-active members-$50    Active Working Members-$10
