General Info:

·       Pre-Registration required and must be received no later than Noon the day prior to the scheduled PopUp.

·       Cost: $20 and due at the start of the PopUp. Cash or Check (made out to Greater Racine Kennel Club) is preferred, but PayPal is also available.

·       Duration: 45 minutes (Note: in cases where only 2 students have reserved a spot, the PopUp will still run, but it may only be 30 or 40 minutes rather than the full 45 minutes)

·       All dogs in attendance must be under control, not aggressive, and current on vaccines required for their age.

·       The challenge level of all exercises within the PopUps can be adjusted based on the dog/handler team skill level, however, dogs should have a good understanding of the basics and not be dragging their handlers all over the place without any attention to the handler unless the PopUp is specifically geared toward brand-new-to-training beginner dogs.
