Orientation seminar (without your dog) is held the first Monday of each month, except December, at 7:00 p.m., regardless if it is a holiday or not. Please be prepared to have your dog’s shot record and payment in hand at that time. We do not want to take up valuable class time at the first class! Due to the training area size, we must limit the class size, therefore “drop ins” will not be assured of a spot in class. Most classes are held in the evening, but the exact time and day are determined by the instructor who will be teaching the class.
You will be expected to pay for class at orientation. We do not accept credit cards, but either cash, check or PayPal are welcome. Please make checks payable to Red River Obedience Training Club, Inc. or RROTC, Inc.
