Canine Manners Classes

Bring your puppy or dog to the Wisconsin Humane Society for our fun and engaging training classes! All of our classes use reward based training techniques and we will teach you how you can use a clicker for training. Current vaccinations including combination Distemper vaccination, protection from kennel cough (Bordetella) and Rabies (if over four months) are required for all classes.

Puppy, Dog Manners and Beyond Manners Classes meet for
50 minutes, once a week, for 6 consecutive weeks.

The cost is $100 per dog for WHS alumni and $120 non-WHS alumni. Owners/handlers must be at least 18 years old and due to the interactive nature of the classes, children under the age of 8 are not allowed to attend. Class size is limited, so sign up today!

Puppy ABC's
Appropriate Behavior Classes
(under 5 months)
Adult Manners Classes
(over 5 months)

These classes are designed to provide essential socialization with people, other puppies and new places. We discuss normal puppy behavior such as mouthing, chewing and housetraining and introduce your puppy to important cues like sit, come and down.

Puppies come on the first night!

We will introduce you to the way dogs think and learn. We will focus on basic cues like sit, down, stay, off, drop-it, walking on a loose leash, plus much more. We will discuss common behavior challenges and provide management and training solutions.

Please, no dogs the first night of class, humans only!

Beyond Manner's Class
(over 6 months)
Clever Canine Tricks Class
(over 6 months)

An intermediate class that will teach you how your dog thinks! Build from your basic skills by adding distractions and real life situations to challenge your dog.

Dogs come on the first night!

Teach your dog to be creative and learn how to get the behaviors you want from your dog not just tricks! This is fun for the whole family and you will have the opportunity to show off your favorite trick at the end!

Class length: 4 weeks

Fee: $60.00


Payments for all classes must be made in advance and are non-refundable.
