Where: Sit Means Sit Knoxville (9023 Oak Ridge Hwy, Knoxville, TN 37931)

Parking: Park in front of the building, behind the building in the back lot, or an the asphault on the area just past the RV. Please do not block the alleyway by the RV on the side of the building.

Cost: $5/dog (can be exact cash, Zelle, or Paypal - PayPal has a small $1 upcharge so you'd need to pay $6 if using it)

Bring crates for dogs and any cooling supplies needed, especially if you plan to work out of your car. Fair warning, the building is right off the highway. I can unlock the back gates for people to come in and out of the back yard to reduce foot traffic near the road if you park behind the building. All dogs must be on leash or in a crate unless it is their turn to pull and they are in the pulling area.

Come get some practice in before the first pull of the season! Photo featuring Miss Winter from a previous practice.

The weather forecast for tomorrow has storms listed for our usual practice time of 9 am. It'll be too hot by the time the bad weather is done passing through to have practice later in the day, so we will skip practice for tomorrow. I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday.

Not for tomorrow, but goign forward, would people be interested in indoor drag practice hosted at Sit Means Sit? If so, let me know in the comments.
