Kids Classes
One of our primary goals when we created Busy Dog was to find ways to include kids involved in training. From the simple act of allowing kids into our group classes, to summer camps, to having a supply of coloring pages for our littlest clients we will always do our very best to support your young dog trainers.
For that reason, we’re introducing kids’ classes to the Madison area. Check back often as we include classes such as agility and parkour, nosework, and tricks classes and workshops especially for kids!
*All dogs enrolled in one of our kids classes must be both kid and dog friendly. At least one adult must be present per dog every class.
Our classes are taught in several locations to held you find an option that works best for you!
– on the west side of Madison, at Passion for Paws.
– on the north side of Madison, at Dog Dog Daycare.
– in Stoughton, at Pups Unleashed
Classes are 45 minutes, and include six weeks of instruction.
