Specialty Classes

We will be offering a 2x2 weave class beginning February 20. This is a 9 week class that will run for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  The class fee is $100. This class is limited to only 4 dogs and handlers!

We are accepting students who are referred by their instructors (or if they aren’t currently our agility students, we will arrange an alternate method). We are basically wanting to be sure the teams are ready for this type of training.

Be the first to learn this fun new dog sport that combines elements of herding and soccer. Your dog learns to round up large balls and push them into a goal net. $110-9 sessions.
