Taking your sporting dog to the next level
is fun, affordable, and accessible at Common Language
Whether you are interested in Obedience, Rally, Agility, Trick Dog, Community Canine, or more, we have an open-air setup for you to hone your skills privately or with friends.
What vaccinations are required?
All dogs on the premises are required to be currently vaccinated for rabies. All dogs on the premises must have had a full DHPP series at least once in their life.
What equipment is available?
Our agility field includes a 20-foot weighted tunnel, 12-foot rubberized dog walk, 9-foot rubberized A-Frame, 12 weave poles at 24 inches, single, double, and triple bar jumps, and a rubberized teeter. We also have several 40-by-50-foot spaces for Conformation practice and Rally Obedience. Dock diving is unavailable for the 2026 season. All handlers using the equipment must be approved for the safety of both the handler and the dogs.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. All sports field sessions must be booked in advance through the scheduling system. Walk-ins are not available.
Can I bring multiple dogs?
Yes. Our guests often bring multiple dogs to train. Please ensure that you can safely manage all dogs you bring to your session, and pay attention to how many dogs are included in your booking.
Is there water available?
Yes. We have clean, cool running water available for dogs at all times.
What is included in Solo Practice?
Solo Practice reserves the field for you to train independently during your scheduled time. You are responsible for your own training plan unless you have requested an additional service such as course setup.
What is Small Group practice?
Small Group sessions allow multiple handlers to share the field and rotate training time. This option is ideal for competitors who want to practice with friends or training partners.
What does the Monthly Pass include?
The Monthly Pass allows the passholder to book multiple sessions per month at a discounted rate. The passholder must accompany any additional guests. Additional services such as course setup are charged separately.
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
Please bring any equipment you may need to safely manage your dogs, such as crates, buckets, towels, and fans. Please do not bring any sport equipment without consulting with CLDT.
What rules apply when using the field?
All handlers must follow facility rules and safety guidelines. Dogs must remain under control at all times and handlers are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs. Dogs may not eliminate on any of our equipment. Please be sure to give your dogs the opportunity to go potty along the fence or tree line.
Can I rent the field for an event or seminar?
Yes. The field is available for trials, matches, seminars, and other events. Please contact us directly to discuss availability and pricing.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We cancel outdoor activities during severe cold, wind, heavy rain, smoke, or unsafe conditions. Because lightning is common in our area, all guests must pack up and end their session if thunder is heard. Sessions interrupted or canceled due to weather may be rescheduled or credited for a later date when conditions are safe.
