Heart Dog Behavior and Training

It’s always a joy to get to teach kids about this career and world of dogs that we love so much! Thank you to Inez Elementary for hosting us for Career Day again this year 🚀🐾

Hey Heart Dog Community, Jess here to introduce a new class we’ll be offering at The Pet Resource Center at Animal Humane! If you’ve known me for really any length of time, you know that after growing up with, working with, and being the guardian of my own small breed dogs, I have a special place for the littles in my heart. Due to the unique challenges small breeds face in our world, I’ve wanted to offer a foundations class tailored to them for YEARS (literally- I’ve been talking about this for the last decade) and am so excited to be getting the chance now! Small Dog, Big World will be a 6-week class meant to empower small-breed dogs and their people by focusing on body language, communication between human and dog, and learning basic manners in a way that respects the differences in how small dogs navigate a world not made for their size!

The class is for dogs under 25 pounds who are 6 months or older, and will be limited to 4 dogs for this pilot session of classes.

It will begin on Tuesday, October 21st at 5:30 pm and be available to sign up for within the next couple of days via the link in our bio! Can’t wait to see you and your little dogs there 🐕 🎉

Beaker’s human has been working diligently with us on his dog and stranger directed reactivity, and recently shared a wonderful progress update! “I just wanted to say thank you for the work that you have put in for Beaker and I. We both have so much more confidence in our abilities and he is getting better and better around other dogs and people. We were brave enough today to go walk near the river (and stop to play in it too). Thank you so much. I can’t wait to see his continued progress with your help.” We love getting to help people and their dogs live life to the fullest and are so proud of this pair for their dedication!
