All training and tests are held at the Petersburg, C & R Center unless otherwise noted. Training during the winter months typically starts at 9:00 A.M. and continues until everyone is done training. Starting in April, training will start one hour earlier at 8:00 A.M. On days when there is bad weather or it is extremely cold, we will work on obedience in the club house and then move outside later in the day for more specific training. The club house will be open on all training days so that members have access to the restrooms. There is a $5.00 fee collected for each training day. The monies collected are used for rental of the club house and the purchase of equipment as needed. If you are a potential member and wish only to observe on your 1st training day (without training a dog), the $5.00 fee is waived.
Beginning in 2011, for the benefit of those who travel long distances to train with us, we are trying to provide a light lunch. The club will provide cold sandwiches, water, and soda, and the members are asked to contribute cold salads and/or desserts. In order for this to work, members must inform the Club of their attendance in advance of each training day.
