"My dear old dog, most constant of all friends".......Cluny
We currently are not holding training classes.
Should you find yourself or pup in need of training assistance, please
call the Northwoods Humane Society and we will help you or connect
you with someone who can help. Please do not wait until the situation is
unbearable - the undesirable behavior is only that much more difficult to
redirect. Please try to keep in mind that what actions are "cute" by
puppy may turn out to be obnoxious tricks by the 40 pound grown dog!
