"Doggie Be Good"
Training Classes
Every week the Humane Society of
Broward County receives hundreds of dogs surrendered to the shelter
because of behavior problems! The good news is you do not have to
give up your dog because he has problems, every dog does! Instead
enroll him in Doggy School and teach him the rules through our POSITIVE
REINFORCEMENT dog training classes. Click

What is Positive
Reinforcement?
Training your dog with treats
and praise! Enrolling yourself and your dog in positive reinforcement
training classes goes beyond teaching your dog to sit and stay.
It's about improving communication between you and your dog and
building a stronger bond.
Learning the basics this way will also build the foundation for
additional training and curb
the development of behavioral problems.
WHAT will be taught?
Watch Me • Sit • Come •
Loose Leash Walking • Wait • Down • Stay • Drop
It • and more ...
