Kimberly at Fido Finishing School will begin our Fall Rally Class next week!

Class will be 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM, Tuesdays Beginning Nov. 9, 2021 for seven weeks (exceptions to holidays and/or poor weather conditions). Class will take place in Parking Lot D of the Lakeview Regional Medical Center in Covington, LA.

Classes are open to dogs who have some basic obedience such as sit, down, heel, come, etc., and are able to work without reactivity around other dogs.

Class will be $95 for all seven classes. If you are interested in a pay by class option, I can accommodate but it will be $15 a class.

Class will introduce teams to the fun sport of AKC Rally. We will learn the Novice and Intermediate/Advanced exercises as well as how to navigate and complete Novice and Intermediate/Advanced Courses. Participants should be able to graduate on the last day of class by completing, and filming if wanted, a virtual rally course with their dog.

For the first class, next Tuesday, please try to arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete your sign up and payment for the classes. Bring your leash, reward for your dog, water, and a smile! See you next week!
