January Dog Training Classes at Humane Society

The Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County (HSVB & IRC) will be offering puppy and dog training classes starting in January. The cost for 6 weeks of training is $35, with all registration fees directly benefiting the animals of Indian River County. Registration for January classes begins Monday, December 5th at The Humane Society, located at 6230 77th St., Vero Beach.

The Humane Society's dog training programs have been designed to accommodate most any schedule. Wednesday morning classes begin on January 4 and are held from 11a.m. -12 p.m. Thursday evening classes commence on January 5 and are scheduled from 7:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m., and Saturday afternoon classes start on January 7 and will be conducted from 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

What exactly will your dog learn? Classes at The HSVB & IRC teach basic commands such as “sit,” “down,” and “stay." Pet parents will also learn how to correct leash bad habits such as pulling, door bolting and jumping.

Classes are taught by HSVB & IRC Pet Behavior Coordinator Connie Ellis, certified by the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors (NADOI). Class size is limited and payment may be made at The Humane Society by check or cash. Choice of class is on a first come, first serve basis.
