Description

Obedience classes are a great place to spend quality, fun time with your dog or puppy. The Humane Society's dog and puppy obedience classes provide that opportunity as you work together toward your puppy or dog becoming a well-behaved companion at home and in the community. Basic Training and good manners for the dogs are the focus of both classes.

Dog Obedience begins on Thursday, September 12 and Puppy Kindergarten begins on Tuesday, September 10. Classes meet at 6 p.m. for seven weeks for puppy class and eight weeks for dog obedience class. The fee is $120 for the course or $100 for Society members, previous participants and those who adopted from the Humane Society of local shelter. Scholarships are available.

The classes help the handler teach the dog to sit, stay, lie down, not to pull on the leash while walking, not to jump on other dogs or people and to come when called. "It's a completely positive activity and a great way to bond with your dog," according to Kathy Hodge, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Calloway County. "The more you work with your dog, the better you both get and the more fun you have."

Socializing with new people and places is important in the classes. "Socialization with other dogs and with new people is an extremely important part of a dog's development into a good citizen," says Hodge. "The classes provide a safe place for meeting new pets and people.
