Berkshire Humane Society is proud to host two canine obedience organizations: Family Dog School and the Berkshire Dog Training Club.

Family Dog School is run by LISA CORBETT, a member of the shelter staff since 1986. It presently offers classes in basic obedience. Classes fill up quickly, so please register early.
