City Dogs is taking names for a possible Pre Agility/Puppy Agility Class this fall.  If a class space opens up, we will be offering this new class.  This is a once a year opportunity to get beginning classes at our popular facility.  Sign up now!!  If you are interested in starting agility classes sooner, contact us for information on other schools offering beginning level classes.

We have one slot open in our Advanced Classes.   Those very interested in training specifically with Kristin and City Dogs should e-mail us to see if there's a place we can put your team. Private lessons will be available during weekday afternoons and Saturday afternoons. Send City Dogs an e-mail if you are interested in joining any of these classes.
