Humane Society of Southeast Missouri Introduces Dog Training Courses

The Humane Society of Southeast Missouri is proud to launch a new training program for dogs and owners called Camp Canine. From puppy courses and adult pet behavior training to playgroups and one-on-one training, there is a program for most any need. Some classes begin as early as April and there are class limitations so each pet and owner can have the best experience.

 

“It’s sure to be a barking good time,” says Tracy Poston, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri. “We have had many requests to offer this level training for pets and owners, and we are excited to bring the program to life this spring.”

 

All four-legged furry family members will learn life skills that will benefit them in any situation throughout their lives. All pets develop the basic manners that include:

  • Leash walking
  • Impulse control
  • Dog play styles
  • Greeting new people
  • and more!

 

There are class limitations so participants are encouraged to register quickly. While teaching the classes, the instructors will use positive reinforcement methods that strengthen the bond between human and pet. These methods are designed to provide the tools for on-going learning and relationship-building between pets and their families, while never using pain, punishment or alpha training methods.

 

To register for classes, please visit www.SEMOPets.org or visit their Facebook page at
