Open enrollment means more flexibility for our clients, and it works like this.
If a class meets on a Tuesday evening and you can't make a particular class, all you have to do is wait until that class meets again! You can start an Obedience or Agility class at anytime, if you miss a particular class, you can make it up when it comes up again on the schedule, we keep track of your attendance for you!
