JUST FOR WINTER! 
RALLY-GILITY - 6 weeks  $150
The fun of agility, the control of obedience and the excitement of a rally course Indoors for Winter!

TUESDAYS: 6:00PM (Indoors)

CLASSES BEGIN:

1/4/11 thru 2/8  I'm interested! 
2/22/11 thru 4/5 (skips 3/22)  I'm interested! 

This only-at-Dairydell class combines the fun of agility, the control of obedience and the excitement of a rally course. If you have a new agility dog, this class will help improve your control and ability to direct him through a course. If you have a dog already trained in basic obedience, Rally-gility will make obedience FUN, as we add skill through the weave poles, tunnels and more to his otherwise dry reperatoire.

The "rally" element of Rally-gility means that each week a "rally course" is set for the dogs, with numbered cones that call for a certain obedience or agility activity at each one (I.E. "Sit" at cone #1, "Heel Right" at cone #2, "Weave Poles" at cone #3, etc.) VERY fun, and a great way to keep your dog's obedience or agility skills sharp over the winter! Course is held indoors, so weather is not a concern.

Try it - you'll be hooked!
