Our next set of Rally classes will start on Wed March 11. Novice Rally meets at 5:30 pm. This class is a 5 week session and costs $130. Advanced Rally meets at 6:45 pm. This class is a 5 week sessions and cost $100. To register email [email protected].
n the sport of Rally, dog and handler teams navigate a course made up of a series of signs that ask each team to perform various behaviors including sit, down, stand, stay and spin. It's more relaxed than formal obedience and is an excellent sport to start your performance journey because of the great relationship you create with your dog.

We will start our January/February class session at Lucky Dog the week of January 22. Naively, we hope the worst of the winter storms are over by next week, but that's probably just wishful thinking. Most of our classes except the agility classes meet inside our training building which is protected from wind and precipitation but not heated. We will offer Introductory Agility 1 in the March session. The Foundations for Agility is the preparatory class for Introductory Agility. F4A meets primarily in the training building and your dog should be ready to work off leash . If your dog does not have reasonable off leash skills consider DSF, Recallers, Rally or Tricks. Class sessions are 5 weeks. Advanced Agility and Advanced Rally classes are $100, Tricks and Intro to Scentwork are $150, and all other classes are $130. Email us at [email protected] if you have questions or to register for a class.

In the sport of Rally, dog and handler teams navigate a course made up of a series of signs that ask each team to perform various behaviors including sit, down, stand, stay and spin. It's more relaxed than formal obedience and is a great sport to start your performance journey because of the great relationship you create with your dog.

We will be offering a Novice Rally class starting Wednesday January 24th at 5:30. This class will meet for 5 weeks and the cost is $130. Prerequisites include basic obedience skills and a beginning foundation in loose leash walking (perfect heeling not necessary to enroll). Email [email protected] if interested!

If you are looking for a fun activity to do with your dog that relies on their keen sense of smell, come try barn hunt! Dogs search for rats hidden away in ventilated, protective PVC tubes amongst hay bales, alerting their handler when they find one. This instinct based sport is meant to imitate the real work that ratting dogs like terriers are bred to do, but any breed can participate and enjoy it.

Our drop in class meets every Wednesday and Sunday morning at 9:00am. If interested in participating, please email us at [email protected].

08/27/2023

The next session of classes is set to begin the week of Sept. 11th. Our DSF classes on Monday nights are filled, so if interested in taking that class, please email [email protected] and I will put you on the waitlist for next session. We still have several spots open for our brand new Puppy class on Thursday evenings with Jessica. If you or someone you know has a young puppy that needs awesome foundations for a future in dog sports (or just as an active companion), this is a great class to start with! Check out the classes below, and email [email protected] if interested in registering or if you would like more information.

For those coming to the potluck tonight, wear your Lucky Dog shirt if you have one. We will be taking a group photo! 🍀

Hello Lucky Doggers,

Sandy, Penny, Ashley and Tara would like to invite all of you to a potluck get-together at Lucky Dog on Saturday June 10th from 5:00pm until roughly 8:00pm (or until we are done hanging out). We will be celebrating the amazing dog sport community that Sandy has built over the past 15+ years through food, dog games, and fellowship. We don't want to call this a farewell, because that makes Sandy sad, but we are thinking of it more as a transition celebration. :)

Dogs are of course welcome as we will be doing some dog games as well, but do keep in mind there will be lots of people, food, other dogs, and activity about, so use your best judgement on whether your dog would enjoy the party vibe. Your dog will need to be on leash at all times unless participating in a game and you may bring a crate. We encourage you to definitely bring your own chair or picnic blanket if you prefer. Weather in June may be hot, so bring fans for your dog as well if you have them.

Since we are expecting a large crowd, we ask that everyone bring food of some kind to share with all. I've shared a google sign-up sheet so that everyone knows what everyone else is bringing (while I love mac n' cheese, 50 trays of it might be a bit much). If you can't make it right when it starts, drop in whenever you can, however food will likely be served at the start. This will be a BYOB event, so if you want any adult beverages, bring them along for your personal enjoyment.

Please RSVP so we know how many people to expect. Spouses, kids and friends are welcome to come, too. Parking will be in the large field in the front, between the dock and the barn.

We are excited to see everyone and celebrate Lucky Dog with you!
