It’s time for your dog to learn the basics! Your canine friend will learn to sit, stay, down, walk on a leash and more in the presence of distractions like other dogs and their handlers. Classes also address unwanted behaviors, such as leash pulling and jumping on people. Class meets for one hour once a week for six weeks at the same time and day each week. 

We are now offering Manners for Life PLUS! In addition to your 6 week in-person group class, you will also receive on-demand video instruction and demonstration of all the exercises you’re learning in class. The videos have no expiration date so you can go back and review any time. Training is a lifetime’s work and it’s important to us that you have the tools to keep those skills sharp. Already enrolled in Manners for Life but want to add PLUS to your class? Select the “Upgrade to Manners for Life PLUS” option!

*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.

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.
