CLASSES
Sno-King holds classes on Thursdays and Saturdays at French Creek Pet Resort in Snohomish. Our classes are very popular and successful, with our students competing with the best in all venues of agility. Instructor education is high on our priority list – the club subsidizes seminars and workshops.
As a service to the sport, we hold workshops for “First Timers” and to teach trial skills like course building and other key trial positions. We continue to be innovative and positive in our approach to training and to trial organization, and we encourage anyone who lives in our general area to join Sno-King and participate to whatever extent they are willing and able.
Our Instructors Are Experienced
Sno-King instructors have many years of experience competing and training dog agility. Before becoming an instructor, they are required to complete an agility title on at least one dog and to have successfully assisted in one or more class sessions at the level they are going to teach.
All of our instructors are currently competing with their dog(s) in one or more of the organizations that hold trials in our area. They are familiar with the rules and nuances of the various organizations and can help prepare you and your dog to compete. We do not advocate one agility venue over another; our instructors are happy to help our students prepare for whatever type of agility they wish to participate in.

Janet Bredl
EXPERIENCED
I have been an agility student continuously from 2001 to the present. I have had instruction from five+ incredibly skilled and progressive instructors in that time, and I feel that it is important to continue to build my skills. I have competed with Papillons, Briards, Shelties, and Spaniels. My current teammate is an English Cocker Spaniel named Claire.
KNOWLEDGEABLE
Before coming to SnoKing, I had seven years of experience teaching all aspects of agility, with a focus on handling skills. My hallmark characteristics as an instructor are patience and positivity! I want my students to be successful and grow their skills, to give clear and fair signals to their dog, and to be prepared to compete if they wish.
