TRAINING CLASSES
We have manners, puppy, behavior, sports, play, and kidsโ classes, taught by experienced professionals who understand dog behavior and use only force-free, positive training. Force-free training is effective, builds trust and cannot cause pain, aggression, or fear in dogs.
Training can be fun!
No chains!
No prongs!
No shocks!
Not here.
COVID-19 POLICIES
While Your Dog’s Friend is continuing to offer many classes online, the Training Center is now open, and we are beginning to offer very limited in-person classes.
Please visit this page to review our COVID-19 policies.
FREE WEBINARS
We believe that fewer dogs will be given up to shelters if we can help people understand what their dogs need and how their dogs learn.
So, we have workshops and webinars that are free โ guidance for new adopters and presentations on all sorts of behavior, training, and health issues.
Some of our previous workshops are online for you to view any time.
