HANDLING CLASSES
FERNDALE, WA (Georgia's house)
5/9 11:00 am
5/12 6:00 pm
If you have any questions please let me know. If you plan on attending classes, drop me a note so I have an idea on class size.
I will be holding two handling classes prior to the Lynden shows:May 9 11:00 amMay 12 6:00 pm (note this was originally posted as 5:30 pm but it's been changed to 6:00 pm)
Fee is $15.00 cash. Please bring exact change.
If you wish to attend, please email me the day before to confirm so I can have an idea on class size. Generally, classes are smallish but sometimes before shows they can be larger.
We accept all dogs; however, dogs must be under control. We do not accept aggressive dogs. While in the class area, I request that you do not allow interaction between dogs. If you have large dogs, please use care when around smaller ones. If you wish your dogs to play, the back field can be rented for a romp. Class is "school time" and we would like dogs to learn that while they are ringside they do not get to interact and play with other dogs.
Please have your dog current on vaccinations.
Below you will find directions; if you have any questions please let me know. Classes start promptly so please be on time. When you arrive, you will need to pay and sign the release form. It may be easier to leave your dog in the car, pay and sign, then get the dog.
If you need to potty your dog, you can do it in the parking area. There will be a scoop and garbage can. Once classes start, the gate is shut. Should you need to exit prior to the end of class, please be sure to shut it securely.
I may offer future classes in June. I am also tentatively planning a "new dog show exhibitor" designed for brand new people, and may consider a two part "puppy social" class. If you have an interest in either of these you can let me know.
Thanks! For questions requiring a longer answer, please email. For quick questions, text to 425 388 5685 is fine.
Please note: when you come down our lane, you will see on the right a metal pole building with an RV in it. Drive just past it, and take a right at the end of the building; go through the double gates. Continue along the fence line towards the end and park. You will see another set of double gates to the right, that is where you enter. Most GPS’s can find our location; the only thing you need to be aware of is you do NOT see our place from Woodland Road. Watch for the orange construction fencing by three mailboxes on the west side of the street; that is where you turn onto our lane. Follow the lane to the end of the row of trees (do NOT go to end of lane!), we are the first place on the right. There is a metal pole building right at our driveway. If you need more detailed directions please see below. Note: One time I had the GPS tell me to go down Willey’s Lake Road. DO NOT DO THAT! It is incorrect! 7645 Woodland RdFerndale, WA 98248425-388-5685
Coming from the south· Take I 5 north; exit at #266 (Custer/Grandview). This exit is north of Ferndale proper.· Exit the freeway, take a right onto Grandview Road. · Follow up to flashing 4-way stop; take a left onto Enterprise. · Follow Enterprise until it makes a very sharp right hand turn. At the point Enterprise makes the sharp turn, you turn left on Harksell. There is a warning sign for the sharp turn. Watch out for oncoming traffic!· Follow to the first street on your right; take a right on Woodland Road. · Once you've gone up about one mile (having passed Zell road on your left), watch for a small road called Webster Lane on your right—this is a landmark; our driveway is kitty-corner across the street from Webster on the left. On the left, there are two mailboxes sharing a pole and a single one at the beginning of our lane; turn left onto the small gravel road just past the mailboxes. (Note: our mailbox is the last one, so you will not see our address as it is blocked by the first two—look for the orange construction fencing.) You will know if you are on the correct lane if there is a line of trees on both sides.· There are two residences on this road, we are the first one. Go a very short distance, just past the line of trees on your right, look for Dane on signpost on your right with our address on it. Do not drive down to the end of the road; it will simply go to the house behind us and the neighbor gets really grouchy about that! There is a grey metal shed usually with an RV in it and various cars our driveway (white Kia, white Suburban).· Note: While on Woodland, if you go past Wiley’s Lake Road (on the left) you've just passed our driveway.Coming from the north (and also from Canada using Peach Arch or Truck crossing)· Go through border crossing, head south on I-5. · Exit at #270 (Custer/Birch Bay; by outlet stores). Turn left onto Birch Bay-Lynden Road. · Follow for several miles. Take a right onto Woodland Road. (If you go to the flashing light at Enterprise you've gone too far.) · Follow Woodland; look for Willey's Lake Road on your right. Continue straight. Shortly after Willey's Lake Road on the right there will be a mobile home with a large pole building. Slow down at this point. · After the mobile home, take the first driveway on the right just before the group of mailboxes. (The first mailbox will have our address, 7645, on it.) This will be a gravel lane with a row of trees on the right. Go a short distance, look for Dane on signpost on your right. Do not drive down to the end of the rood; it will simply go to the house behind us. If you drive past Zell Road on the right you have driven too far. There is a grey metal shed usually with a motorhome in it and various cars our driveway.
