• Oriole Dog Training Club follows Baltimore County School weather closures. If that school system is closed that day, no run-throughs will happen that night.
• Before coming to class, please check this run-through page for any last-minute cancellations. This is the only way for us to communicate with you for last-minute changes.
• When it is your turn to run, you will have 2 minutes in the ring to either run the course or to practice individual skills. You will be timed.
• Please potty your dog on the grass area diagonal from the building.
• There is a $5 cleaning fee for any dog who has an accident in the building.

Friday Night details

Walk-Through is 7:00pm and the Run-Through starts immediately thereafter and is expected to finish up at 9:00pm

Some important things to know:

• Friday night run-throughs are held on the same night as one of our Flyball classes. There is loud barking at times. Many dogs benefit from the distraction.
• If your dog needs additional training/socialization in certain trial-specific areas that are not generally seen in class (timer noises, measuring device, table, broad jump, judge in the ring, ring crew, etc.), please let organizer Terry Todesco know ahead of time.
