Classes

    Beginners classes are held indoors at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.  The class is 8 weeks long and costs $75.00.  You will need to bring a harness for your dog, leash, treats or toys, and a copy of your dog's shot records.  Our class covers jumping using a back-chaining learning technique.  Dogs also learn to trigger the flyball box and execute a swimmers turn for a quicker return.  Handlers will learn the basic rules of flyball.  Dogs and handlers are divided into groups for more individualized attention.  

    PLEASE NOTE:  Class size is limited and pre-registration is required.

    Beginning April 17, 2002, we will have a new class schedule:

     We may add another beginners' class on Wed. morning or Sunday night, if necessary.

    Our classes and practices are held in the Livestock Arena at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.  For a map of the fairgrounds, see the following page: http://ww2.co.jefferson.co.us/ext/dpt/comm_res/fgds/images/fairground-map2.gif
