Note about Treats
The best way to train your pet is through the proper use of positive reinforcement and rewards. Please bring plenty of high value treats to class, such as cut up hotdogs, cheese, chicken, chewy training treats, etc.
Does your dog consistently react strongly to humans or other dogs?
Reactive dogs have a hard time focusing on their owner during the class making it hard for them to learn and retain the information they are being taught. If you are unsure if your dog will be successful in this busy environment during the drop-in training class, please email dogtraining@arl-iowa.org or call (515) 473-9131.
