OUTDOOR CLASSES

Dress for the weather!

This is Spokane, so layers are a good idea!  Chairs are available in the training field.  You are also welcomed to bring your own chair if you prefer.   We bring out the awnings for shade or if rain is likely. 

 

Class will be held as planned unless you hear otherwise. 

Your instructor will email you with instructions if class is being moved indoors or postponed due to weather.  If you miss the email and arrive and find no one is there, check the training studio.  Your instructor's contact info is also included on your class homework link if you need to reach them.

 

SUMMER HEAT AND

WASP WARNING

​

When out walking and for those attending outdoor summer classes, stay in the shade and bring plenty of water and a wet bandanna for you and your dog!   

 

​

We also advise that you leave "real meat" treats at home during yellow-jacket season. 

In mid-to-late summer, the wasps and yellow jackets start to look for the good stuff.  They are particularly fond of hot dogs.  There is also a bit of clover in the lawn.  If you are allergic to bees, bring your epi-pen, just in case.

Fly

Bring along some mosquito repellent 

for those outdoor evening classes!  Mosquitos and no-see-ums love the cool grass.
