Obedience Show and Go/Trial Practice April 5, 8AM-2PM
We'll be offering two chances to practice your routine under the same conditions as our May 17-18 trial. The first will be on April 5 and the second on either May 3. We will have a single ring each time, and run classes from Beginner Novice through Utility in sequence.
Come in April and check out our new floor. Come in May and go through your routine one more time.
All are welcome-you don't have to be planning to trial.
Register here for April 5. Registration will close at noon, April 2.
Registration details
Schedule
Crating
If you're lucky enough to have a quiet, peaceable dog, you're welcome to crate inside the training room, where the ring will be. All crates and chairs in the training room must be placed on water proof mats. Chairs with legs must be dressed with tennis balls (we have some you can borrow).
If your dog is a little rowdy, you'll be able to crate in the kitchen, outside or, of course, in your car.
In the Ring
Treats and toys are allowed!
There will be a judge, unless you don't want one.
You can choose to work on individual exercises, or go through a whole routine.
The amount of Ring time will depend on how many people sign up.
Scheduling of extra runs (for the same class) will depend on how many people sign up.
We will have stays for Novice.
Volunteer Opportunities
No experience required! All on-the-job training will be provided free of charge.
We'll need volunteers:
