About Family Dog School

About

Family Dog School at Berkshire Humane Society aims to build a loving, respectful relationship between dogs and their owners through play and positive reinforcement, and to keep dogs in their homes by solving behavior problems. Its faculty attend workshops, clinics and conferences to stay current on science-based training.

Classes

Group classes include Puppy Play and Learn for puppies 8 to 20 weeks, Level 1 and Level 2 Manners and nose work at several levels, meeting weekly for four to seven weeks with a maximum of eight dogs and two instructors per class. Behavioral consultations and private lessons are offered too. Classes use a matted, climate-controlled indoor training room and a fenced outdoor training pen.
