Updates for dog training students!!!❄️⛄️🐶

DOG TRAINING STUDENTS IMPORTANT WEATHER UPDATES!
SATURDAY students -- I think we will be totally fine for tomorrow in terms of having class as we will not get snow until later in the afternoon. I will text you in the morning if anything changes
MONDAY agility & puppy students -- I have a feeling we are going to have to cancel classes, but I am not making a decision yet. I will send a text by noon on monday after we see how much snow we got and if roads are clearing up!
TUESDAY new students at Briggs -- I will send a text on Tuesday before noon regarding classes. It all depends on how fast they clear roads and if I-72 remains open so I can get to you from Monticello! Certainly keep me updated as well if you feel like you cannot make it to class due to road conditions, I would rather everyone feel safe and comfortable driving!

Any students feel free to send me a text at 217-607-9909 if you have concerns about road conditions or getting to class. I'm hoping for light snow and clear roads so we can have no interruptions to training!
