Public Classes are obedience classes for the general public, non-members of FWOTC.  They are held on Tuesday evenings for 8 weeks, one hour each week

 
     
     
     
     
  Attached below is an application (.pdf format) for the classes scheduled for the current training year.   The class will be held at the Allen County Fairgrounds in the Home Loan Bank Building.  The classes are one hour long and begin at either 7:00 or 8:15 pm for eight consecutive weeks.

Since the class is limited in size, it is important that you fill out the attached form and send it to the address below as soon as possible so that a place may be reserved for you.  Applications must be received by the club 7 days prior to the start date for the class.

Requirements:

Inoculated against Distemper, Hepatitis and Leptospirosis (DHL), Parvovirus, and other immunizations recommended by your veterinarian. Rabies vaccination is required by law. You may either send a copy of the receipt or computer read-out showing proof of this with your application, or bring it with you on the first night of class. If you send an original, it will be returned to you.
   

You, as the handler, must:
Be at least 12 years of age and physically capable of handling this dog.
Not feed the dog his usual evening meal until after class.
Be comfortably dressed with low-heeled tie-on shoes.
 Excercise the dog immediately before coming into class, giving him/her a chance to relieve him/herself. (Be sure to clean up after your own dog!)
 
   

The following items are required:
A properly fitted collar and a leather or woven leash (6 feet long), both of which will be available from the Club at very reasonable prices.
