What is it?
5-weeks of dog training plus Intro to Training class
The Oregon Humane Society offers dog training classes that are fun, positive and easy to fit into your life. We offer a variety of class times in an effort to meet your scheduling needs. We’ll help teach your dog the basics of ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, and loose-leash walking. We’ll show you techniques for getting your dog to take toys and treats nicely, how to focus on you, and how to come when called. We use real life scenarios so the skills you learn in class are easily transferred into your home and everyday life.
Our Training Philosophy
Our training philosophy focuses on building a strong, healthy bond between a dog and his person through positive reinforcement. We do not like to use fear or intimidation-based tactics. OHS trainers believe that reward-based techniques and education on canine behavior is the best way to promote a trusting and respectful relationship between individuals and their dogs.
Requirements
- Everyone must attend our Intro to Training class as part of the Basic or Puppy Manners Program. (see next section)
- Your dog must be at least 4 months of age for Basic Manners.
- Your dog must be spayed or neutered. (For dogs under 6 months of age, the spay/neuter requirement is waived.)
