Please note that in our beginning level obedience classes and foundation agility classes, girls in heat/season are not allowed. For upper level agility classes they may come in a seasonal as long as there is not trial on the grounds within two weeks of attending class. If you are unsure if it is okay to bring your girl, please contact us. If you bring a bitch to class that is in season and it is less than two weeks to trial, your girl will be excused from class for the day and must wait in the car. Sirius Ranch has very strict policies regarding bitches in season and purposeful violation of that policy will result in dismissal from our training program.
