Dog Training
We are very excited that professional dog trainers are offering classes here at HSHV in our Education Center. Michael Burkey, Jerry Koszednar, and Charlotte Perry are offering classes that range from puppy classes all the way to classes that prepare your dog to take the Canine Good Citizen test. We even offer fun classes to teach your dog tricks and games. You're sure to find something that fits you and your dog!
Information and details on all of the classes are listed below. If you have questions about registering for a class, please contact us at 734-661-3527 or deb@hshv.org. If you have questions about what each class covers, please contact the trainer directly.
