Marin Humane’s Behavior & Training team offers dog training classes from beginning skills to advanced behaviors that will help you and your dog develop a great relationship.
Our instructors use positive reinforcement to teach your dog a variety of skills including how to walk on a leash without pulling (ugh!), to sit or lie down quietly (ahhhh), to come when called and to wait at doors (yay!). In addition, we offer dog sport classes including agility (yipee!), scenting (hmmm), flyball and rally obedience (woohoo!).
