Welcome to 4RK9s Dog Training Club!

4RK9's Dog Training Club is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our philosophy of training is built around positive training through trainer enthusiasm, use of treats, toys, and lavish praise.

We offer classes in:  

  • Puppy Socialization 

  • Home Obedience 

  • Competition Obedience (Novice - UD)

  • Competition Agility (Novice - Excellent; Standard and Jumpers)

  • Canine Good Citizen (Classes and Testing)

  • Just-for-Fun Agility

  • Getting Ready to Track

  • Conformation (occasionally)

We are a UKC Club (United Kennel Club), however our agility and obedience classes are taught in both UKC and AKC (American Kennel Club) formats.  We also have members who have NADAC titles. 

Our club operates on a volunteer basis and is not open to the general public with the exception of classes, fun matches, and seminars.

Questions?  Leave a message at (319) 366-5668.  We'll return the call as soon as possible (be patient, it might take a few days)

 

OUR AUGUST AGILITY TRIAL IS STILL ON!!

We are still planning our August 2-3 UKC Agility trial in Amana , Iowa . Our show mats were located in a storage garage that was not flooded and equipment will be repaired or borrowed from other clubs. Please come to our August trial to help us raise money for our recovery. Premiums available here.

Thanks to everyone who has helped us over the last few weeks. We have had quite a few volunteers show up to help us clean or do other tasks.

Your help is much appreciated!

The building is in the process of being repaired. The landlord had to cut back all the drywall and remove insulation. He has a contractor working in the building to make repairs and we are planning to move back in August. Once we are back in the building we will resume classes.

Please watch our website for an update class schedule.  If you were enrolled in a class and need information feel free to contact us. Obedience questions should go to Peggy Freeburg at molegatoo@mchsi.com and agility classes should contact ebgilly@mchsi.com.

We did lose quite a bit in the flood. Click here for some photos.  Due to contamination concerns we will be replacing all our flooring mats. We are also replacing any wooden equipment that came in contact with the flood waters- this includes A-frame wood, wooden tables, ring gates and many other items.

As you can tell we have quite an expensive undertaking ahead. We have decided to set up a recovery fund to help us with the expenses. If you would like to donate please send money to 4rk9s- c/o Johnette Ulch treasurer, 1294 78th Street Trail, Belle Plaine, IA 52208.

Please continue to watch our website for more info on the flood recovery!
