Building a Relationship through Training
Understanding your dog’s behavior, body language and learning how dogs think will make life with your new pet happier and easier. Positive reinforcement, also known as reward-based training, is proven to be far more effective in creating a well-adjusted, well-mannered dog than punishment-focused methods.
HHS recommends all new dogs/puppies and their family members attend at least a basic training course to build a strong human-animal bond and to help him understand how to communicate effectively with your dog.
HHS offers training classes for you and your dog, including basic and more advanced courses. In addition to classes, HHS trainers offer private 1 on 1 training sessions to address more specific behavioral concerns. For more information or to sign up for training classes, visit: www.hinsdalehumanesociety.org/programs/training-enrichment.
Please reach out to training@hinsdalehumanesociety.org if you have any further questions or concerns.
