Due to high demand, Pupstart is not accepting new clients now. Preference is given to past clients or veterinary referrals for behavior (on a limited basis.) 

Follow the Facebook Group for insights into dog training and behavior.

If you have a new puppy or are struggling with potty training, click here!

For local in-home manners ("obedience") training, try Sheila Williams Dog Training or Knox Canine Training. Canine Craze in Urbandale and Knox Canine Training in northeast Des Moines offer group classes for puppies and adult dogs. The Animal Rescue League of Iowa also runs group classes for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs in northeast Des Moines. All use positive reinforcement training. 

If you're open to remote consulting for behavior, please contact Homeward Bound Animal Behavior.

Everyone is swamped, so please be patient.

Thank you for considering Pupstart for your dog's behavior care!
