ADOLESCENT PUPPY KINDERGARTEN class is for dogs 15 weeks to 6 months at start of class. This class will give your puppy an opportunity to continue valuable socialization while at the same time providing you with the needed support and knowledge to teach your puppy the behaviors they need to live peaceably in your home. Whether your puppy has already been through Puppy Kindergarten or has reached the age of 15 weeks without having attended Kindergarten, this class will enable you to improve your pup’s skills such as:

Walking politely on a leash
Coming when called
Brief sits, downs, and stays
Games to help your pup absolutely love their crate
And other lessons

Prerequisites

No prior class is needed to attend Adolescent Puppy Kindergarten.

This class meets once a week for four weeks. Participants will be required to watch the orientation video prior to coming to the first class via the link below. 

For any issues regarding the orientation video, please contact dogtraining@arl-iowa.org or call 515-473-9131. 

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 a group training class, a Drop-In training class is a great way to see if your dog is able to learn in the busy environment our training center provides.

If you have any concerns about the behaviors your dog displays, please email dogtraining@arl-iowa.org or call (515) 473-9131.
