Dog Training Classes.
 The Group
Puppy and Dog Training Classes are for all breeds and all age dogs
from age 8 weeks up. The classes consist of six weekly one-hour sessions, in
which you and your family, along with the other members of the classes, are
instructed and assisted in how to train your dog. Classes are held on
Wednesday mornings, Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. A continuing
training class is also offered on Thursday evenings. New classes start
approximately every 8 weeks—year round.
The Humane Society offers four Puppy & Dog Training Classes each
week—Wednesday at 11 AM, Thursday at 7 PM and Saturday at 1 PM. The
class is a 6-week session; each once-a-week class is about 1 hour. New
classes begin soon. (Check our «calendar» for
details.) For information contact Connie at 772-388-3331,
Ext. 19 or email her at
The Continuing Dog Training Class expands on the dog’s basic
training and establishes an order of practice for the owner/dog team to
reinforce the foundation relationship. The class presents new exercises
designed to improve the owner’s handling skills, body language and
motivational skills, working toward creating a higher level of dog attention
and responsive behavior. The objective of on-going training is to produce
dogs that have been trained to behave in the home, in public places and in
the presence of other dogs.
Our popular Puppy Parties (for puppies from age 8- to 16-weeks) are
scheduled for the 3rd Monday of each month at the shelter. The purpose of the
puppy parties is to help puppies learn social skills with other puppies in
their own age group. This early socialization with different breeds and sizes
of puppies helps to eliminate future dog-dog aggression problems. The class
also reviews realistic expectations by the owners for normal puppy behavior
and establishing both housetraining and socialization programs for the puppy.
Puppies must be over 8 weeks and less than 16 weeks old. They should wear a
flat, buckle or snap-around collar with a 5 to 6-foot leash. Puppies may bring as
many people as they wish. Call 388.3331, Ext 19 for information and
reservations.
