Course schedule

K-9 Courses are now scheduling on a limited basis.  Class enrollments are smaller than before and Covid protocol is in effect.  We appreciate your support of the club and understanding as we continue to work our way toward more offerings.  Class scheduling is posted below and kept current.  When a class interests you, remember that enrollment is limited and spots may not be available for long.  In the event you miss out on a class, keep watching for future classes to schedule.
