Dog Training Classes
The Kansas Humane Society is pleased to offer dog training classes for dogs and their owners taught at KHS by our expert staff. Enroll in one of these dog training classes:

Puppy Kindergarten
Basic Manners
Help for Your Reactive Dog


Our quality instruction and intimate environment will provide you and your dog the training and skills you need to have a long and happy, well-mannered life together.
 



Does your dog bark at everything she sees or lunge when on leash? Are you walking him at midnight just to avoid other dogs, squirrels, cars and other stimuli that makes him lunge on a leash? We can help!

With the use of positive reinforcement dog training, you'll learn to encourage calm behavior from your dog in situations that previously resulted in distress, why your dog behaves this way, what the triggers are, and how to reduce reactivity.

For dogs 6 months and up
Must be current on age-appropriate vaccinations (including rabies).
Class size: 6 dogs
Class fee: $120

Dog Training Class Instructors: Karla Hartlep - CPDT-KA, KHS Director of Shelter Operations and Kelly Spencer - CPDT-KA
You may need to provide training tools such as treats and training guides (a Gentle Leader, Halti, or harness) all available in our store. Possibly a muzzle for your dog.
Sorry, no human/canine dangerous aggression dogs. Please contact us for a private consultation.

In order to be most successful, dogs in this class should have some basic training and respond to cues such as "sit" and "down" within your home. Upon enrollment, we ask you complete a dog behavior questionnaire so that one of our Certified Professional Dog Trainers can consult with you before your class session begins.

Puppy Kindergarten
Get your pup started off on the right paw with Puppy Kindergarten. Your puppy will develop early basic obedience skills as well as participate in puppy socialization activities so that he or she will grow into a confidant adult and be the best friend possible. We'll also help you prevent your pup from developing those pesky behaviors of excessive digging, jumping, and chewing. In your dog training class, you and your dog will also learn loose leash walking.

For puppies age 8 weeks - 6 months.
Age exceptions must be approved in advance by instructor.
Must be current on age-appropriate vaccinations (including rabies).
Class fee: $85
