VERO BEACH — Sit and stay for some fun at The Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County’s (HSVBIRC) puppy and dog training classes. Registration for August classes will begin Monday, July 30, and run through Friday, August 17.
The cost for six weeks of training is $40, with all registration fees directly benefiting the animals of Indian River County. Registration will be held at The Humane Society, located at 6230 77th St. in Vero Beach.
The Humane Society’s six-week dog training programs have been designed to accommodate most any schedule. Wednesday morning classes begin on August 15 and are held from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Thursday evening classes commence on August 16 and are scheduled from 7-8 p.m. and Saturday afternoon classes start on August 18 and will be conducted from 1-2 p.m.
Classes at The HSVBIRC teach basic commands such as “sit,” “down,” and “stay.” Pet parents will also learn how to correct bad habits such as leash pulling, door bolting, and jumping. Classes use motivational training approaches that are not food reliant.
Classes are taught by HSVBIRC Pet Behavior Coordinator Connie Ellis, certified by the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors (NADOI). Class size is limited.
Payment may be made at The Humane Society by check or cash.
Choice of class is on a first come, first serve basis.
