Classes
Non-members
Non-members interested in either agility or flyball may apply to be added to the wait list. We strongly recommend that you take a basic obedience class before taking one of our classes. It is expected that your dog will know the commands for sit, down, stay (or wait) and come as well as responding to their name when it begins our classes.
Classes
- Your dog on collar and leash (6' leash - leather or nylon; flat collar - no action/chain/pinch allowed)
- Treats (SMALL, soft treats are best) and toys for your dog
- If you own a clicker, bring that too.
- For you: running shoes and comfortable clothes (layers are best in case you get cool or warm).
- Water for your dog and for you (in both hot and cold weather).
- Poop bags.
*Note: Class Drop Out policy If the dog or the handler have an injury/illness that precludes them from participating in the classes, and written documentation is given, then a prorated refund will be given to the individual. Drop-out for other reasons would be as follows: (a) drop out after 1 class: the individual (member or non-member) would receive an 80% refund; drop out after 2 or more classes: no refund.
Agility
We value quality instruction and as such we cannot have large classes. If you are interested in classes and you are not currently a member, you may contact us via inquiry@nfldathleticdog.com to get your name on the waitlist for public classes; however, we cannot guarantee when it is you will be able to enter the agility classes with us (it depends on the number of individuals ahead on the list for the entry classes: puppy and pre-agility). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we are still growing and can only offer services that we can support our existing members. We will try our best to get through the waitlist but it is first listed, first serve after members.
Our agility classes are located on the Clovelly Stables property.

Members who pay for all 8 classes cannot downgrade their registration to a drop in once the session has started. This option may also be available for intermediate flyball, pending class size and instructor approval.
