Registration for “Small Frenzy” Agility Workshops will open starting Monday, March 13th at 8:00 PM.
**PLEASE NOTE: Some workshops have different start times than usual! Some workshops are full day! Please read descriptions carefully!
**REMINDER! Registering does NOT guarantee you a spot! You will receive a confirmation email alerting you as to whether or not you got in. Please make sure you type your email address correctly!
In an effort to reduce stress and increase fairness, any workshop that over-fills within the first 12 hours, will have spots given by random draw. If a workshop does not fill in the first 12 hours, spots will be first come first serve.
The registration links will be on our events page. We will be putting them up one by one after 8pm on March 13th, so if you do not see what you are looking for right away, just hit refresh.
Registering does not guarantee you a spot. There will be more sign ups available than spots so that we are able to create waitlists and pull for the random draw. We will email you to confirm spots. If, after registration opens, you do not see anything available, it means that the workshop and the waitlist are full.
We are offering a new “full day” format for a few of our offerings. Please read the details carefully as the price, start time, and workshop length are not the same for each workshop.
