Sno-King Agility Club invites you to our FREE “Introduction to Agility” Open House on Sunday, June 28th at the French Creek Pet Resort outdoor arena from Noon to 2:00 PM!
Bring your dog and discover the exciting world of dog agility in a fun, relaxed environment. You and your dog will get hands-on experience with beginner agility equipment while working alongside experienced club members.
Dogs will have the opportunity to try: • Jumps • Tunnels • Small contact equipment
We will also help evaluate your dog’s current obedience and readiness for agility training. If you and your dog enjoy the experience, information will be available about enrolling in one of our beginner agility classes.
Whether you’re looking for a fun new activity, a way to build teamwork with your dog, or just want to see what agility is all about — this is a perfect opportunity to give it a try!
This is a FREE event, but space is limited.

2 - Three hour seminars with Heather O’Neill
Sunday, July 26th, 2026
Outdoor arena at French Creek
9504 171st Ave SE, Snohomish, WA 98290
10:00 am - 1:00 pm Timing and Execution, Novice Sequences
Focus on proper timing and execution of handling moves in short sequences (emphasis on front/blind/rear crosses, and tunnel threadles). Well timed cues are one of the most important ways to stay ahead of your dog on course. In order to have proper timing, you also need proper placement and execution of your cues. We will also work on trusting your dog so you can “send and go!”. Dogs should be competent on jumps and tunnels, and starting to sequence.
1:30 pm - 4:30 pm Timing and Execution, Master Sequences
Focusing on the same as the Novice class above, except for the dogs and handlers should be working at an excellent/masters level.
Video recording will be encouraged for both classes so we can review as needed.
