DOG TRAINING CLASSES

At The Connecticut Humane Society, we believe that one of the best ways to develop a lasting relationship with your canine is through training.

Proper manners are important on so many levels.  Well-behaved dogs quickly become cherished members of the family.  They are good citizens of the community.  Most importantly, the training process helps you to create an emotional bond with your dog through building mutual respect.

Pet Education and Therapy, LLC. conducts all of the dog training classes offered at the Connecticut Humane Society.  This company serves as an independent contractor and is owned and operated Audrey A. Tucker, CPDT/CBC.

The most important focus in our standard obedience classes is to work with our clients on developing basic manners and correcting common behavior problems.  The goal is to help you to establish a relationship with your dog that will last a lifetime.

For people who want to take their dog's skills to the next level, we offer an array of advanced level classes designed to challenge canine/handler teams through fun, yet practical excercises.  One of the goals of these classes is to encourage people to make regular training a lifetime endeavor in order to maintain a strong relationship with your very best friend.
