classes at K9s in Motion

Weekly classes are ongoing and run continuously. Once you’ve secured a place in class, re-registration isn’t required.

Keep in mind that by reserving your place in class, you are making it unavailable to someone else! Please be considerate of this if you need to withdraw and kindly give *at least 2 weeks notice* to avoid being billed for the entire session.

Class fees are due monthly, and collected during the LAST CLASS of the session. If fees aren’t paid in a timely manner, your spot will be filled from the waitlist. No spots are held without payment.

Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay, Check and Cash accepted.

Contact me if you would like to be added to a waitlist for any class.

What is the difference between a Handling class and a skills class?

Skills classes focus on teaching and practicing all the skills needed to eventually run full courses!  Each class runs a short sequence and works on the handling/obstacle/relationship skills required.  Beginning dogs or puppies start working on the essential skills that become the building blocks for obstacle and handling skills in the future. The class format allows significant time for one on one training with each team, so they may concentrate on the skills that need the most work...whether it's an individual obstacle performance, a motivation issue, focus problem, or handling maneuver.

Handling classes focus on course analysis and finding the best way for each team to run the course.  We examine the hows/whys of each team’s individual handling choices, look at all of the options for running the course, including what may be better handling solutions for each team, and find any skills that need work outside of class (HOMEWORK!).   Students are encouraged to work outside of their comfort zones!!
