Animal Humane Society’s behavior and training classes are flexible and pet-oriented. Our experienced, professional trainers will teach you real-life skills you can use with your pet.
Each week, we offer more than 100 classes in Golden Valley, Woodbury, and our St. Paul location on University Avenue, and also provide private sessions with our trainers.
