Handi-Dogs

This class is designed to help people train a well-behaved pet dog and/or resolve minor behavior problems. They are open-enrollment -- you may take as many or as few classes as you feel you need to meet your own goals.

For those who want an Companion Dog as allowed by the Fair Housing Act, a well-behaved, trained dog will help you avoid conflicts with your neighbors or landlord.
