PLEASE NOTE: TURF CLEAN UP FEE

We spent a lot of money on this brand new turf!
Please treat it as if it were your own house and do not allow your dog to use the bathroom on it.

If your dog goes to the bathroom on the turf, you will be charged a $20 clean up fee.

 Some tips to avoid accidents:
When you are receiving feedback or instructions from your trainer, put them in a stationary position like a sit or down stay
When your dog is not actively working; stay actively engaged with them or put them on a place mat/bed or in a crate
If your dog is prone to marking take them outside before or after each turn 

Failure to pay the $20 clean up fee results in inability to continue using services here this includes: group classes, private lessons, etc. No refunds will be issued. 

Thank you for understanding and respecting our training space!

If your appointment says TURF ARENA on it then you will enter through DOOR 2. On the far left side of the building.
If your appointment says RUBBER ARENA on it then you will enter through DOOR 1. This is the entrance we have always used in the past.

4-5PM: Frizgility is a super fun UpDog Disc Dog game combining agility and disc! It includes a pattern of jump, tunnel, jump and then a disc throw. Open to dogs of all levels, including puppies (we can lower the jumps or just do the tunnel depending on age!). Dogs will work one at a time (please come prepared to work your dog out of the car, one dog in the building at a time) and each dog will get two turns (round robin run order) on the field. If you want to run with the 60 second timer we will have one available, however you can use your time on the field however you want. This is inside on turf. You can run more than one dog, just make sure you register for multiple spots .

Please note our indoor “field” will be scaled down from regulation to fit in our space.

  • What to bring: you will need to bring discs with you! This game allows one disc to be thrown and one to be used a lure if needed.
