The goal of our classes is to foster a strong, positive bond between dogs and their owners. Through the class, we strive to promote humane education, responsible pet care, and dog training based on positive motivation.
We currently offer one obedience class, which is held several times during the year. For more information or to register, contact us at 630-323-5637 or info@hinsdalehumanesociety.org.
