Dog Classes & Workshops
The Marin Humane Society offers reasonably priced, enjoyable dog training classes
and workshops that will help your dog become the companion you want.
Our instructors use positive reinforcement to help solve your dog's behavior problems
and teach him or her to walk on a leash without pulling, to sit or lie down quietly,
to come when called and to wait at doors.
In addition, we offer information on nutrition, grooming, nails, fleas and ticks,
and specific behavior concerns.
