Various behavior problems are often listed as the reason animals are surrendered to the Minnesota Valley Humane Society. Often they feel it may decrease that animal's chance for adoption. That is very unfortunate because most behavior problems can be solved with education and guidance. The Minnesota Valley Humane Society encourages you to find help if your pet is having any type of behavior problems. You can attend MVHS's C.A.R.E. seminars , read one of the many of books that are available, or attend an obedience class.
Obedience classes are as important for the owners as they are for the dog.
In fact, most owners find group classes highly rewarding. A personal behavioral consultation may be needed for long-standing or severe problems. Alpha Academy teaches obedience classes at the Minnesota Valley Humane Society twice a week. You are welcome to observe the class to see if enrolling is right for you. If you have specific questions regarding your pet's behavior, you can write to me , in care of the Minnesota Valley Humane Society.
