THE APS AND THE DURHAM COMMUNITY

As noted in the mission statement, the APS places a high priority in educating the public in “the humane care and treatment of animals.” This requires a comprehensive effort to reach all segments of the Durham community with a wide variety of information.

DOG TRAINING CLASSES FOR ADOPTERS AND THE PUBLIC:

Learn to train your dog! No advance registration is required, this is a drop in class for absolute beginners.
This class is for humans only so please leave your dog at home.
We will be working with shelter dogs to learn games and exercises that you can take home to work on with your own dog.
All participants will get a chance to practice the skills taught during class with the shelter dogs.
The cost for the class is $10 (free for APS adopters and volunteers!) and all money collected goes to the Animal Protection Society of Durham.   Click here for more information!
