Do you and your dog struggle with nail trims, baths, or handling in general? Would you like your dog to willingly run to you for teeth brushing? You’ll learn the basics of how to teach your dog to be a willing participant and opt in to care procedures and what to do if they opt out.
*If your dog is fearful or becomes overly excited (barking, lunging, or excessively pulling) when they see dogs, people, or other things in their environment, they may not be appropriate for this class. Reactive Rover, Wallflowers, or another class might be a better fit. If you need help determining which class is right for you, please call our Community Behavior Department at 502-253-2883.
*If your dog who has bitten or shown severe behavior during care procedures in particular (intense growling or snapping at people when being handled) they will not be a good fit for this class. Private Training may be a better fit. If you need help determining which class is right for you, please call our Community Behavior Department at 502-253-2883.
Please bring a copy of your dog’s most recent vaccination records to the first night of class. Vaccinations required are rabies, distemper/parvo (titers accepted for dogs over two years of age) and bordetella. There have been documented cases of Canine Influenza in our area. The Kentucky Humane Society strongly recommends that the Canine Influenza Vaccine and subsequent booster vaccination be given prior to attending behavior training class. Learn more. Students who elect not to get this vaccination may attend class but will be asked to sign a waiver.
Payment is required at registration. As all funds go back to care for the animals in our shelter, all fees are non-refundable.
