Dog Training

Learning to train your pet is fun and doesn’t require any specialized experience.

Dog Training at NHS

Let's face it, Training Classes are an investment of both time and money; however, the return on that investment can be life changing for you and your companion. Learning to train your pet is fun and doesn't require any specialized experience. Your pet will benefit from clear leadership, exercise, training and play. The result will be a well-mannered family member that is happy and a joy to live with. 

How to Register for Classes

Registering for a class is different then what you may be used to. Please follow the directions below to make your experience go smoothly.

1. Pick the class date & time that you would like and write it down. This is the only time you will see the offerings. (If there are no dates, please check back later. It means the current offerings are full.)
2. Click on “Enroll”
3. You will be asked to pay first for your class and will get a confirmation of payment when complete. On that confirmation there will be a link asking for your information.
4. Fill out the information about you and your dog. Note that you will need to enter your dog’s rabies number. Owners of dogs that are not old enough to for rabies at the start of class will need to bring the number to your instructor once the dog receives the vaccine.
5. Click “Submit Registration”.

We also provide CGC instruction and classes for dogs who have been cited for misbehavior. View available specialty training classes »

Playgroups

Nothing tires out a dog and teaches him socialization like playing with other canines.  NHS Playgroups get you and your dog out of the house, and into the action. Check out the available playgroups offered at NHS »
