Private lessons are $65 per half-hour. These may be scheduled at additional times with any of our instructors.
To promote a safe and fun environment for all dogs and handlers, all dogs enrolled in these classes must be friendly with other dogs and humans. No refunds will be given if dog is enrolled and then shows aggressive behaviors.
Please note: payment is due within one week of registering for a class. Class fees must be received to secure your spot in the class. Late fees of $15 per week of registering will be added to those not paying within a week of registering for the class.
Joan's classes have jump height restrictions.
