DATES FOR UPCOMING EVENTS IN 2026

 

Join Laura Hartwick for monthly Fun Matches!

Heart Dog Agility Fun Matches feature competition level courses with top of the line agility equipment on two adjacent grass fields, running simultaneous nested Starters and Advanced/Masters level Standard and Jumpers courses. Toys and treats are not just allowed but encouraged! What a super way to prep for agility trials!

 

Our Next Fun Match is:

 

Sunday, March 8, 2026, 9am-12 

 

Time: 9am-12pm

Cost: $50 first dog/$25 for your second dog, 

 

Registration is Via Email:
Please email Laura Hartwick at < laurahartwick@gmail.com > to see if we still have spots open, if so, she will send you a confirmation that includes payment and registration information.

 

You can also ask Laura be added to the announcement email list for our fun matches, to register each date I send out an email to the announcement list. The first 15 handlers to RSVP are sent a confirmation email, payment confirms your spot. If you don’t get in, I do start a wait list if someone drops out of their spot.

 

How they work:

Fun Matches are limited to 15 handlers. 

 

Rewarding with toys, treats and lavish praise is allowed and HIGHLY ENCOURAGED! 

 

Your dog must be at least 1 year old, and and be reasonably trained on all the equipment to register. We are trying to set up some of the challenges they will be seeing at trials, dogs should be nearing competition level to attend. Dogs should not be attempting things they have not trained in class. If you are not sure if your dog is ready, please ask your instructor.

 

Heart Dog Agility has 2 fenced rings, Standard and Jumpers courses will run at the same time in both rings. There will be both Starters and Advanced/Masters courses numbered in each ring.

 

You will have 90 seconds in the ring to run the courses or work on anything you wish.  If you want to just practice start lines, or contacts, or weave poles, this is GREAT! You may jump any height. Course maps will be available for all courses for you to take photos of with your phone. 

 

 Laura will do a group walk through of the Starters courses in each ring for anyone who wants to walk the course with her and will be available for help with handling ideas.

 

If less than 10 handlers have signed up by Friday am before a fun match, it will be cancelled.
