Class fees
Class fees for a six-week session for a non-member are $100 and $80 for members. Membership Fees WAG Memberships run for the calendar year. The cost for a single membership is $60 and $90 for a family membership (for two or more handlers in one family). The WAG Membership allows you to pay lower class fees and a chance to vote at the WAG General Meeting. For those members who are at the Novice level or higher, you can book the summer field to practice. WAG members are required to volunteer in some capacity. The Club is volunteer-based to ensure that lesson costs are minimized. Proceeds from the club fees and events are used to assist in purchasing new equipment, maintaining existing equipment and facilities, subsidizing the cost of renting the indoor winter facility, our summer field, and the cost of instructor training.
