"I talk to him when I'm lonesome like, and I'm sure he understands.
When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands;
Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes,
but I never say naught thereat,
For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes,
but never a friend like that!"

Northwoods Humane Society Dog Training Classes
Is your dog making you crazy? Does it take you for walks? Does it have selective
hearing? Do you need help? Well, basic obedience “How to Live with Your Dog” classes
will be starting at the Northwoods Humane Society on Monday, January 16 at 3 p.m. or
Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 6:30. Both the Monday and Thursday classes will include
six sessions. The classes will be taught by trainer Regina Petty. The classes will be
held in the new addition exercise and socialization center at the Northwoods Humane
Society Shelter. The first class will be for orientation: “NO DOGS or you will not get a
head start on them!” The fee for the six week session is $75 made payable to the
Northwoods Humane Society. You can call 715- 634-5394 for information on what is
needed and/or on the classes. More than one family member may attend. Proof of dog
immunizations will be required and, all dogs must be on leash (a 6 foot length or more is
best – no chains).
If your dog is more than you can handle in public at this time, do come learn some
techniques to get you out of the house together in a civilized manner. You do not have to
have a real live dog while learning how to communicate with one. Once you have the
information, you can then use the techniques on your dog! We use very gentle training
methods that are very simple to pick up.
There are dogs awaiting adoption here who would love to learn along with you or, learn
while you practice your skills. By attending class with one of them, you learn, the dog
becomes more adoptable and, you can then take your new found skills home for your
dog(s).
Private, individual consultations are also available if you and your dog do not think class
is for you. Sometimes, the very shy or unsocialized dog just needs some guidance from
its “leader” to become a class member later on. Dogs who have one or two minor
behavior “quirks” that you do not like but, tolerate, may benefit from class with a back to
basics introduction.
The purpose of dog classes is to introduce the dog to other people and dogs while you
learn to communicate what is expected of your pet. Actually, the people in the class are
being trained and the dogs are picking up on this new behavior and responding to it!
So, come out and join in the fun – what can be more enjoyable that a well behaved and
happy dog?
The Northwoods Humane Society is located 4 miles East on Highway 77. Hours are:
Monday thru Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Address: P. O. Box 82, Hayward, WI
