Classes

Contact us to see if we have new classes forming.  If we don't have any classes forming soon, we will give you names of area agility schools to look into.  .Private lessons are also available.  At this time, we are only taking students interested in perhaps competing at some level because City Dogs is running full.  Send City Dogs an e-mail if you are interested in joining any of these classes.
