Specialty Boot Camp Service Dog KinderPuppy Obedience Agility Barn Hunt Events

Dear SmartyPaws clients:

In order to offset the increasing operating costs to run SmartyPaws, it has become necessary to (starting July 12th) charge a 3.5% fee for all credit and debit cards used to pay for classes and Doggie Day Care and Boot Camp. However, if you wish to pay by cash, check or Zelle, there are NO fees associated with those forms of payments. The email that you will use to pay by Zelle will be smartypawslv@gmail.com.

We value you and appreciate your business. We strive to keep our costs down while providing the best training and care for both you and your pet.

Thank you,
Donna Foreman and SmartyPaws Staff

Our Cancelation Policy: You must cancel at least 72 hours in advance before the class starts. We may give you credit for a future class, but if you cancel with less than 72 hours notice, there will be no refunds, because you have taken a spot in a class that other people are waiting to enroll in.

Beginner Agility

This may be an ONGOING CLASS and space may be limited to 6 dogs.

Beginner Agility is for all dogs that have completed Intro to Agility at SmartyPaws. Now that the dogs are familiar with all of the equipment, dogs and handlers are ready to learn different crosses and handling skills to direct the dogs on an agility course. Handlers will learn Front Crosses, Rear Crosses, Turns and Switches in addition to Blind Crosses. Dogs will still be learning to conquer the teeter and will still be working on mastering the weave poles using gates to guide them through. Simple courses will be used to include the different crosses that will be taught in class. If you are not sure if your dog is ready, please contact the office and we will have you speak to the trainer of that class.

2. Payment is due in full prior to class start date.
