Dogs at Dusk: Part 2 – Dog Stewardship, Thursdays

Dogs at Dusk – Part 2 Dog Stewardship is a 6-week after-school program (2/29-4/11; NO CLASS 3/28) where youth learn dog safety, assessment, teaching, and handling.

Part 2 focuses on teaching and handling dogs and builds upon Part 1, which is a prerequisite. These will be active sessions with actual lessons interacting with dogs we provide (no personal dogs allowed).  

Each session will build on prior sessions, so plan to attend them in sequence for the best experience.

Paws 4 Kids 4 Paws is excited to expand our partnership with the Bensenville Park District to host events at park facilities. This program is open to Bensenville residents and non-residents.

We price our programs to be affordable for most families, though they often cost more than the fees paid.  We also want to support youth who need help with the fees by offering scholarships when needed. If you would like to support our programs, please use the link below.
