Announcements

I just sent out the August Mailchimp newsletter but neglected to include this under the information about the Intro to Agility Obstacles:

We will open registration on CourseStorm for Intro to Agility classes on Monday August 19 at 8:00 AM. Until that time, the classes will show up as “Registration Unavailable”

I sent out the July Mailchimp newsletter late on Tuesday July 23. The newsletter included an announcement about two classes that will start on August 3, an Intro to Scent and an AKC Novice Tricks class. There was such an overwhelming interest in the Intro to Scent class that we added a 2nd section (at 12:00 PM, same dates). That section is also filled, and we are keeping a waiting list in case any of the first 12 people decide not to do the class. Anyone left on the waiting list will have first choice for a late September scent class.

You can read more about both classes here.

The Ann Arbor Dog Training Club on North Territorial in Whitmore Lake is hosting a CGC (Canine Good Citizen) practice and test in the next couple of weeks. Here is the information in case you are interested:

We got a couple of inches of snow this morning and Terri has decided to cancel all of her lessons and classes.

There are still a lot of spaces left in the Puppy Kindergarden class scheduled to start next week. See the link below in the Friday announcement to sign up. Puppies need to be < 5 months old.
10:30 AM: The snow is falling fast and furious. Adele’s morning classes are canceled. We will update here in the early afternoon about whether or not afternoon and evening classes and lessons will happen. Mother Nature has certainly been against Tuesday training this month!

Adele’s February Household Manners and Puppy Kindergarden classes are available for sign up on Coursestorm. The classes are scheduled to start on February 5, 2024, with the caveat that the previous classes, delayed by bad weather, must finish on January 29. If bad luck means another delay, Adele will contact you before February 5.

The worst of the ice is gone, hurray, so weekend activities are a go. 

The Great Northfield Ice Flow looks pretty similar to yesterday this morning – i.e., too icy for human and dog safety – so we continue to be closed for activity. Please let your instructor know that you have seen this message. Any canceled classes will be extended another week to make up for the cancelation.

While there has been significant improvement in the Great Northfield Ice Flow since yesterday morning, it is still too thick for safety, so we continue to be closed for activity. Please let your instructor know that you have seen this message. Any canceled classes will be extended another week to make up for the cancelation.

The overnight weather conditions have turned the driveway, parking lot and most likely Ellsworth Rd. into a skating rink, so we will be closed for ALL activities (classes, lessons, floor time) until we have sufficient melting for it to be safe for humans and dogs. Please let your instructor know that you have seen this message. Any canceled classes will be extended another week to make up for the cancelation.

Rita has canceled her evening class due to the expected freezing rain.
Adele is going on with her afternoon classes.
Adele decided to cancel her 6:30 class.

All classes and lessons canceled.  An extra week will be tacked on to the classes to make up for the cancelation. 

We had a couple more inches of light fluffy snow overnight. We are not getting it plowed. Ellsworth Rd is snow-covered.
We are going ahead with the obedience match today. If you need to cancel, please go to the sign up sheet if before 11:30 AM or contact Adele via Facebook Messenger if later than that.

Terri’s lessons and classes will go on as scheduled.

Please see the sign up sheet for more info about the status of 1/18 obedience match. 

All classes and lessons canceled due to extreme cold and the condition of Ellsworth Rd. An extra week will be tacked on to the classes to make up for the cancelation.
