The training facility I take both my dogs to for agility is closing at the end of the year! The owner of the building sold it and the new owners want to keep the space that is used for dog training for their own storage!.
. The person who runs the dog trraining school has been looking for a new place in the area but coudl not find one that wasn't ridiculously expensive so now has to shut down for good. This facility has hundreds of dogs as clients and has the only competition-level agility training program in the area. I don't know what I"m gong to do. The nearest agility classes are now at least 45 minutes to an hour away, and with gas prices what they are it does not make sense. A woman that I became friendly with in the class brought up the idea of carpooling, but there's no way my car will fit my dogs and her 2 golden retrievers. Even then, with so many people now without agility classes, it will be impossible to find a class that isn't filled to the maximum. We may have to settle for setting up an agility course in her back yard (I don't have a yard) and just practicing there. I am so angry. I've been taking my dogs there for 2 years now, twice a week, and working towards competition next year, and now it has to end.
