The Oregon Humane Society's training and behavior department offers training classes, private consultations, and workshops for our community. We want to help keep pets happy in their homes by educating people about humane and responsible treatment and training of their companion pets.
Our instructors are experienced Certified Professional Dog Trainers.
Services take place in the Animal Medical Learning Center at the Oregon Humane Society on NE Columbia Blvd.
