Introduction to Obstacles is for dogs with no prior experience with agility. We introduce the handlers and dogs to agility handling techniques as well as the various obstacles. We use all manner of positive motivation to create a fun and happy atmosphere for all dogs participating.

Open Practice is for those dogs comfortable on equipment and have attended at least 6 weeks of classes with an agility organization. Open Practices allow you to practice skills learned in class as well as work on challenges set up.

Agility is a skill/game with your dog that takes practice to get proficient. Agility is not a skill
that can be learned in one class. If your dog is not highly food motivated, then I suggest do not feed
him/her until after class. Or if you use a toy as a reward for your dog, please bring his/her
favorite along!!
Future classes and skill levels will be added as interest and the club grows!
We welcome human guests--either family/friends of students, or prospective students--at all regularly scheduled Flying Paws classes or open practices. You might want to bring a chair, as there is no provided seating near our training ring.
If you would like to bring your dog to observe a class, please contact us first. In rare cases, we might not be able to accommodate canine vistors for a specific session. Please note that in no case will any dog be allowed in the training ring, or on any obstacles, other than dogs belonging to members, dogs currently enrolled in a class, or dogs who have a pre-arranged private lesson or evaluation scheduled with one of our trainers. All dogs enrolled in classes are only allowed on equipment while supervised during classes.

Weather |
If the following weather conditions occur on class nights, please check your email before coming to class. We add all class students to our email list and this is how we contact you!
- Raining, sleeting, hailing
- Thunderstorms
- High temperatures (over 90 at 5pm)
- Low temperatures (under 40 at noon)
- Snowing
There may be occasions where if it is slightly raining, we will hold class and/or practices, so please check. Also, in the case of low temperatures, we may hold classes and/or practices if the sun is shining brightly. If we have class but you do not show up, that is considered a missed class without notice and no make up will be given, so call if you are unsure.
Classes canceled because of weather conditions will be made up by either make up days or by extending class dates.

Missed Classes |
One make up class is provided per 6 week session with at least 2 hours notice. If you notify us at least 2 hours before class that you will not be able to attend that night, we will work with you to make up that class. If no notice is given, no makeup is given and no money is refunded.
