We’re pretty darned relaxed about our agility classes at Country Dream but we pack lots of training into our opportunities with students. We’re sensitive to the limited time and resources people may have to apply to dog training, and maximize the time they spend with us.

For Fall 2009 we’ve added weeknight classes to our schedule of twice-monthly Sunday workshops.

We offer a flexible, pay-as-you-play, no-roster Tuesday night. With a 6:00 p.m. foundation training class, league play (a full course to walk and run), and a 7:30 p.m. sequencing class open to all dogs, we provide lots of entertainment value for just a few bucks. Just show up and pay to play.

For folks who want more structure we offer a rigid roster, limited attendance, homework-and-improvement expected Thursday night. Masters handling sequences, league play (a repeat of Tuesday’s course to walk and run), and a starters handling class, we hope to encourage serious students to show continuous improvement.

In 2009-2010 we continue with our Sunday gas-saver workshops. Twice a month we offer workshops for three levels of student:  intermediate students have the building to themselves from 10:00 a.m. to noon, advanced students work from noon to 4:00 p.m., and beginners arrive at 2:00 p.m. for their two-hour class.

Winter 2009-2010 quarter includes workshops on:  December 13 and 27, January 10 and 24, February 14 and 28. Volume discounts are offered for purchasing multiple workshops, kids under age 16 train for half price, and we occasionally have last minute openings. Click here for advanced, intermediate, or beginner workshop registration forms for winter 2009-2010.

Folks who are registered for all six workshops in a quarter are known to us as Platinum Students and they get free use of the training building plus discounts on private lessons and camps.

We’re located in a quiet country setting in Ohio farm country. We have indoor and outdoor agility fields and a friendly training atmosphere. Our training building, where most of our classes and camps occur, is surfaced with 3/4″ rubber on packed dirt; safe and healthy for you and your dog.

Our prices are intended to make dog-training fun, educational, and affordable. You’ll partner up with your dog in a friendly, supportive group of students.
