Behavior and Training
UPDATE
With the world focused on containing the spread of COVID-19 and with our community’s best interest in mind, San Diego Humane Society has made the decision to suspend all new in-person training classes and workshops through April. We will instead be going virtual with our training classes! Registration for our virtual classes can be submitted below.
Thank you again for your support and understanding during this time. The health and safety of our community and the animals in our care is our top concern. Other training handouts and resources can be found here in our resource center.
For questions about behavior and training classes, please call 619-299-7012 ext. 2398 or email behavior@sdhumane.org.
