Class
Schedule for Tuesday Nights in 2008-2009
We have classes all year
around, always on Tuesday evenings. This year, all classes will be held at the Santa
Clara County Fairgrounds. When you come to the Fairgrounds, you can
park by Gateway Hall, then either go inside
Gateway hall for our Fall/Winter classes, or during
June
through through the end of September classes you can walk to the grass
in front
of the big white Pavilion building. Check the VENUE column on our Calendar
Page for details. Click
here for driving directions.
This
page
contains
class
details (dates, times, instructors, etc), as well as class
descriptions, our Fee Schedule, and our instructor bios.
Click

(special
monthly event)
-- "Ready Ring" is designed to give you a feeling
for how you and your dog will perform in an Obedience Trial. It will be offered
approximately once per month, generally on the first Tuesday of the month
at the Santa
Clara County Fairgrounds -- see "RR" in the ETC
column on the
Calendar Page to see the
big picture. This is a Drop In
class ONLY for club members or students who are already
taking either our Advanced Novice,
Open or Utility Class, and who
think they are ready to show their dog and want to see how they will
do in a ring situation. We have a sign up sheet at class and we can
only take a few. We also encourage advanced students to be stewards
for the Ready Ring so they can learn how to steward at a trial or
match.
