Puppy Training at Medinah
May 6, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 7:15 pm
Free Lifelong Training For Our Rescue Dogs
Weekly socialization and basic obedience training is offered to all adopters FREE OF CHARGE for the lifetime of the dog, something no other group offers! This is made possible by a team of generous trainers who donate their time and sponsors who donate the space. Training is crucial for happy dogs and ensures that our adopted dogs remain in their happy households forever. A minimum of 4 free training sessions is required for all adopted dogs.
ATTENTION: Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Medinah Park District will be closed. Classes are consequently cancelled until after April 30th. Check back soon to see when our regular training schedule will resume.
