👏👏 Huge kudos to the Reactive Rover 102 crew for practicing hard late into the night! 🌙

Interested in Agility but your dog is a bit reactive, timid, or not a big fun of loud noises? Fungility @ Dog's Day Out in Burien might be a great fit! Our setup features smaller equipment in a cozy space, making it ideal for dogs who need a confidence boost. With only 4 dogs per class, we keep things calm and focused. A few spots are still available— Register now! 🐾 Fungility (level 1) 5-week course (classes are 50 minutes) $255 🏃‍♀️ Starting Sunday, Sep 29th at 4:10pm https://dogsdayoutseattle.com/training-registration-2/
