Whether pet owners are encountering tough behavior issues or just need help with the basics, the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) offers a wide range of group classes and private lessons that will help dogs become an extraordinary companion.

Maybe it’s the leash pulling that turns walks into tug-o-wars. Maybe it’s the “selective hearing” at the dog park. Maybe your pup just needs a little guidance to put their best paw forward. AHS offers these training classes and more.

Snake Avoidance Training (Shock-Free): As desert critters become more active, teach your dog essential snake safety skills along with reliable “leave it” and come-when-called cues – all without the use of shock collars. Canine Good Citizen Prep: Want your dog to become a certified Good Citizen? This 4-week course will get them ready for the official Canine Good Citizen test. Scent Games & Activities: These 30-minute classes provide an opportunity and outlet for the natural hunting and scenting abilities of all dogs, whether puppies or adults. Tricks: Ready for your dog to master new tricks? AHS will teach over 10 tricks and even work towards earning a Novice Trick Dog title for those extra fun bonding moments.

AHS says that a well-trained dog isn’t just easier to live with; they’re happier, more secure and ready to take on the world right by your side.
