Drop in Session's are weather dependent. If it is a blizzard, high winds, Bad/Closed Roads, Temperatures below -30 degree's class will be cancelled. If you are not sure, please check back on a regular basis. It WILL be posted on this blog if it is cancelled.

**Due to our ever changing weather conditions, it is important that you come prepared to the classes- for your selves and your dogs.
