Hughes, Holly Hammerle, Linda Vance, Verne Foster and Patty Lane. The general rule for classes is five dogs per instructor.
She said Mountain View sometimes has waiting lists for classes but they usually just try to find more instructors.
Mountain View has a wide range of dog training possibilities and levels depending on the dogs. They teach obedience, which Ring said is a prerequisite for a dog going into agility. This means that the dog must know the commands: sit, down, stay, come and stay with me.
The “Family Dog” class teaches basic obedience skills for seven weeks and costs $85. The “Puppy Kindergarten” class is also for seven weeks and costs $75. “Introduction to Agility” is an introduction to the concepts and equipment used in agility; it is a six week class and costs $65.

Ring conducts the introductory and intermediate agility classes and her husband does AKC agility.
One recent sunny day, Ring participated as one of Holly Hammerle’s advanced agility students with two of her dogs, Jolt, a Border Collie, and Frenzy, one of her Australian Shephards.
“What I do is try to provide them with challenges that we’re seeing in courses,” said Hammerle.
Ring added, “You have to figure out the best way to get the dog there (to the end of the course) in the least amount of time without jumping bars or going off course or refusing stuff or going under stuff they couldn’t handle.”
Ring said with referrals from veterinarians, Mountain View customers not only come from Rappahannock, but Fauquier, Culpeper, Gainesville and H^iyiinarket.
