LOCATIONs for GROUP CLASSES
Our group classes are held in an indoor space with the additional option to add on 1-2 sessions working in an outdoor space. You will be required to stand for the majority of the session whether indoor or outdoor; however, some seating will be available. You will want to wear clothing and shoes for the current weather. The outdoor space is mostly grass but could get muddy in the rain and/or snow. There are distractions working in any space. The indoor space is cement and is within a Pet Boutique, therefore, there will have distractions off and on. Common distractions at our outdoor location are cars, general outdoor wildlife (bunnies, birds, squirrels) and farm animals (goats, chickens, and horses). The outdoor space is completely fenced in; however, all class sessions will be on leash. There will be opportunities for off leash play depending on time and temperament of the dogs in the class.
See the map below for directions to our indoor location where your class will be held. It is located in Longmont, CO held in the Pet Boutique Dee-O-Gee. Pets must always be on leash when coming into the store and when entering the training room.
See the map below for directions on how to drive to the outdoor location (Unleashed Pasture). It is located in Berthoud, CO. It is approximately 12-18 minutes north of Longmont, CO (depending on your location)
Dee-O-Gee
Unleashed Pasture
Parking for INDOOR Space
Parking at Dee-O-Gee is not plentiful in the lot to the south of the building; however, there is a larger parking lot to the north of the building. I would recommend parking in that lot to have the ease of getting in and out.
PARKING for OUTDOOR Space
Parking at the location is not plentiful. You will pull into the second driveway passed the outdoor space (visible by agility equipment behind the fence and banners labeled “Sniffspot Unleashed Pasture”. Curve to your left onto the gravel. Park one behind the other on the gravel. If you arrive and this space is filled, then please pull to the FAR right of the paved driveway. DO NOT PARK on the left of the driveway.
