We still have a few spots available for this class! We would love to have more therapy dog teams in our area!

Do you have a dog with a heart of gold you would like to share with others? FDKC is excited to be offering a therapy dog class!

This 5-week Therapy Dog Class will prepare you for Therapy Dog testing with therapy dog programs. The class will work on therapy dog socialization, obedience, public engagement, medical equipment, therapy program education and therapy dog certification. This class will prepare you and your dog for therapy dog testing. Dogs must have on-leash basic obedience skills. If you and your dog are lacking in obedience skills, please reach out to attend obedience classes with Fort Dodge Kennel Club (FDKC). Classes will be at the Fort Dodge Kennel Club (FDKC) facility (210 10th Street NW in Fort Dodge) and at public venues.

Instructors: Linda Whaley (Retired Nurse; Has 2 certified therapy dogs) and other FDKC therapy dog owners

Prerequisites: Dogs must be 1 year old and know how to walk on a loose leash and stay in a quiet stand, sit, and lie down before taking the class. This class is about applying basic obedience/manners skills in a therapeutic environment; it DOES NOT teach basic manners. Dogs must work well on a flat collar or harness. Aggressive or reactive dogs are not appropriate as therapy dogs. Handlers must be willing to use positive praise-based training methods.

Cost: $50 for non-FDKC members; $25 for FDKC members payable in full at the first class

Length: 5 weeks at the FDKC (210 10th Street NW Fort Dodge, IA)

Class Dates/Time: May 6, May 13, May 20, May 27, June 3 @ 6 PM

Class Size: 6 Dogs (Small class size helps provide individualized instruction)

Registration: Email Linda @ [email protected] no later than Friday, May 1 to sign up and receive more information

We are excited to announce we will be hosting a CGCA (Community Canine) and an Introduction to Rally course starting Monday April 27th! These classes will continue on Monday nights (including Memorial Day).

CGCA classes will be from 5:30-6:30pm and this course will run 7 weeks in total including testing on the last night June 7th. The cost for this class is $70 for non members and $35 for members. In order to sign up for this class your dog must have their CGC title/certificate already.

Intro to rally will take place on the same nights from 6:45 to 7:45pm. This class will run 8 weeks in total ending on June 15th. The cost for this class is $80 for non members and $40 for members. The prerequisites for this class include being able to sit, down and walking on a loose leash (formal heeling is not required but dogs struggling with basic leash manners should wait to take this class).

There are limited spots in these classes to allow for more direct instruction. Please reach out to us through a private message if you would like to get signed up for these classes or have questions. We can’t wait to see you there!
