Rowdy Rovers

Sometimes life can be way too exciting for our pups and when that happens they can forget all their manners. Rowdy Rovers is a 4-week class for dogs 6 months and older at the start of class. Dogs do not attend the first day of class.

In this class we’ll help encourage our Rowdy Rovers to make polite choices as we work on the following and more:

Four on the floor

Loose Leash Walking

Recall (come)

Counter Surfing

Waiting at the door

PRE-REQUISTES - For dogs 6 months and older

FEES - $80. Fees for classes are subject to change and NON-REFUNDABLE.

REGISTRATION - Register by clicking on the class dates you are interested in. You will be stepped through the online registration process. Payment will be through the online registration system. No registration will be considered confirmed without payment.

VET RECORDS - Please fax your dog's vet records to 515-266-4549 ATTN: Dog Training Classes. You may also email them to dogtraining@arl-iowa.org ATTN: Dog Training Classes. Please have the owner's name, the dog's name and the class dates clearly identified. YOUR PET'S VACCINATION RECORDS NEED TO BE RECEIVED PRIOR TO CLASS START.

DOG POLICIES - Females currently "IN HEAT" (estrus day 1 - day 21) are not allowed in classes. If this becomes a concern, please contact the Training Department at dogtraining@arl-iowa.org.

Dogs must be on leash and supervised at all times. Owners must pick-up after their dogs.

Is your dog reactive or aggressive to humans or other dogs?
What does it mean for your dog to be reactive? Dogs may be considered reactive if they bark, growl, lunge, or snap around people 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 your dog displays any of the behaviors listed above, please set up a private consultation at ARL Main by e-mailing Petbehavior@arl-iowa.org.
