About Tails Training and Veterinary Center

<h2>Group obedience classes at the DeKalb shelter</h2>

<p>Tails Humane Society runs a dog training program from a training center adjacent to its shelter at 2270 Barber Greene Road in DeKalb. The site describes the location as "just minutes drive from DeKalb, Sycamore, Cortland, Elburn and Maple Park" and says the space runs to "over 3,500 square feet of dedicated training space." The program is framed as part of the shelter's mission – the page says it "is part of the mission of Tails Humane Society to ensure that pets stay with their families," and that instructors will work with you until you are happy with your dog's behavior.</p>

<h3>Classes</h3>

<p>Four six-week group courses are listed. Basic Obedience covers sit-stay, down-stay, recall, loose-leash walking, leave-it and settle "using reward-based positive reinforcement," with class size from six to twelve. Intermediate Obedience builds self-control and responsiveness under more distraction and works on manners around strangers and other dogs; a Basic certificate or instructor approval is the prerequisite, and the page notes it is not a class for dog-reactive dogs, pointing those owners to private lessons instead. Advanced Obedience is taught off-leash and works at a distance with public-style distractions. Puppies and Adolescents is tailored to dogs under a year, covering foundation obedience, manners and socialization plus the nipping, jumping and demand-barking stage. Pre-registration is required for all of them, and classes are canceled or postponed if the minimum enrollment is not met.</p>

<h3>Price</h3>

<p>The training page publishes its fees: classes are listed at $125, with a discounted $105 for Tails adopters using an adoption coupon code at the payment screen.</p>
