Humane society dog classes to start November 16

Having a well-behaved dog makes the experience of having a pet much more enjoyable.

Imagine being able to take your dog for a walk without it pulling you the entire way or imagine having a dog that sits quietly when company comes to the door.

The Lakes Area Humane Society (LAHS) will be having a basic dog obedience class starting on Tuesday, November 16.

The cost is $60 and the profits will be applied toward the operating expense of the LAHS animal shelter. This class will run one night per week for five weeks and will cover the basic obedience commands of “heel, sit, stay and come” and more.

This class is appropriate for dogs of all ages and for all dog owners no matter what level of experience they may have.

The instructor will be Randy Buker, who has been teaching this class for nine years and has more than 30 years of professional dog training experience. During those years, he’s either trained or helped train approximately 1,000 dogs.

Beyond the basic commands, participants will learn how to understand their dog’s behavior a bit better so they can interact with their dog in a manner that allows him to fit into the family.

For more information or to register, call the Lakes Area Humane Society at (320) 759-2260.
