📢 ANNOUNCEMENT! 📢

2025 class registration will open in *10 days*!

Online registration for our winter classes will open Saturday, December 21st at 7pm! For those new to agility, we'll be offering not one... not two... but THREE foundation 1 classes! 😍 Classes will begin on Saturday, January 4th.

Please be prepared to register at this time as classes fill quickly and we cannot add spaces to classes. This is to ensure everyone gets the appropriate amount of attention and time with the instructor.

The class schedule, descriptions, and pricing can be found on the Training Classes page of our website (link in comments). To register for a class, click the name of the class (links will be added shortly, don't worry if you don't see them yet!). All class registration is done online.

If you have any questions about classes or eligibility to enroll in a particular class, please email us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help you! 🥰
