Alas, I don't have my own training center (yet!)  I currently teach in two different locations.

Sugar Bush Farm, 760 East Road, Stephentown NY

A Dog's Best Friend, 13 Provost Road, Stephentown NY

Directions from the East:

Take the Mass Pike all the way to exit 1. Continue on I-90 to the next exit, B-3 in Canaan, NY. At the end of the ramp go right, 22 North.  Take Route 22 North for approximately 9 miles to the town of New Lebanon. At the red blinking light take a right to stay on Route 22 North * In New Lebanon, Route 20 and 22 run together for a short while.  Make sure you stay on Route 22 by bearing left just before the Hess Gas Station you will see on your left (Note: in December 2007 Hess Gas Station moved out; now there is just and empty building and gas pumps there!). Continue to the traffic light in Stephentown where Routes 22 and 43 intersect. Turn right onto Route 43.  Go approximately 1/2 mile on Route 43; just past Dave's Mini Mart and Gas station on the left will be Provost Road on the right (it's a dirt road).

Take Route 22 North for approximately 9 miles to the town of New Lebanon.

Directions from the West:
Take I-90 East to Exit 11E - Route 20 East.  Continue on Route 20 East until it joins Route 22 North.  Follow Directions from (*) above..
 
Directions from the 22/43 Intersection:
Heading North on Route 22, you'll go up a hill where 22 becomes 2 lanes.  It goes back down to one lane after you get to the top of the hill and you will pass a mobile home park on your right.  Just after that there is a brown house with a big satellite dish.  The road right next to that house is Giles Road or County Route 33.

Take that road, it is short, takes a sharp right at a big tan warehouse building on your right.  You will go over a little bridge, you'll see farm buildings on both sides of the road and straight ahead on the right you will see the training building - white domed roof with tan walls and windows.  Parking is next to the building.

For outdoor classes, pull into the driveway just before the building (you'll see orange cones either side of the driveway), and park below the training field and building  In the winter you can park alongside the road in front of the training building.

Directions from the North:
From Hoosick Falls you will take Route 22 South.  Go through the town of Berlin.  Approximately 3 miles south of the Berlin Jr./Sr. High School on your left is Giles Road or County Route 33.  Follow Directions from above.
