Behavior and Training Classes
Real-life skills taught by experienced, expert trainers
Animal Humane Society's instructors use reward-based, positive reinforcement training methods based on an understanding of how animals learn. A combination of lure/reward and clicker training is both a fun and effective way to shape behaviors you want to see in your dog.
Many of our trainers are Certified Professional Dog Trainers or are working toward their certification. Our trainers have 70+ years of experience combined, and are committed to continuing education and upholding standards for current best practices.
