Summer is here and trials are in full swing. Classes this session will be held outdoors at 2 locations - Sugar Bush Farm in Stephentown, and A Dog’s Best Friend in Stephentown, both of which have fenced-in rings that are about 100’ x 100’. Class descriptions and qualifications are on the back of this form. To sign up for any of these classes, please make a check out to AgileDogs and return it to me with this form filled out. I need to receive your registration a week before class starts to guarantee your spot.

Multiple dog discounts apply! If you enter either the same or a different dog from the same household in more than one class (can be either the same class or a different one/ones), take $10 off of the second dog’s registration fee. Anyone who refers a new student to me who ends up taking a class will receive $15 off of their next session.

Private lessons with Trisha are available for times when there are no scheduled classes or building rentals. Rates are $30 for ½ hour and $50 for an hour, single person or group of 2-3 people.
