Pet Training Programs
Training Your Human:
Classes for Pooches & People
When it comes to training, teaching the human is the most important part. Your dog looks to you for guidance and instruction.
Pet training teaches you how to communicate with your dog, establishing the groundwork for a solid, long-lasting relationship between you and your best friend.

 About Our Classes
Pet training classes are offered through a partnership between the Humane Society of Missouri and the Greater St. Louis Training Club. Learn more about this unique partnership HERE!
A unique feature of our classes is the convenience they offer. In most classes owners purchase a punch card for 5 sessions and have 8 weeks to finish their punch card. This give owners the option to take a week off without losing out on any class time. Great for busy families!
An additional benefit is that students move up the next level as soon as they are ready. No one spends more time in a level than they need to. Some students move up through all four levels with only one or two punch cards. Others take a little longer. Everyone moves at their own pace.
All classes are available at our St. Louis headquarters. Class schedules depend on an adequate number of registrants. We reserve the right to cancel a class due to a lack of registrants.
PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, class registration fees are not refundable. If you register for a class and are unable to attend, we will be happy to provide credit for a future class.
Obedience Classes Come to Chesterfield Valley!
We understand how difficult it is for dog owners to drive into our city location for obedience classes now that the I-64/Hwy 40 construction is has begun - so we are bringing the training classes to the county!
The Humane Society of Missouri proudly to announces that training and behavior classes are now offered in Chesterfield Valley. These are the same type of classes currently at the Macklind Avenue Headquarters, but they are instead held in our newly built training facility at the Humane Society of Missouri in Chesterfield Valley.
Private Lessons
We currently offer private lessons for owners of dogs with behavior problems that don't want to or are unable to attend a group class. Knowledgeable instructors offer private training tailored to meet your specific needs. Lessons can be arranged around your schedule and are held at the Macklind or Chesterfield Valley facilities. Call (314) 802-5709 or e-mail the Pet Training Department for information.
Behavior Helpline
Do you need some "pet parenting" advice? Our trained volunteers can give advice to help you introduce your new dog to your resident dog, solve your cat's litterbox problems and tackle other issues. Contact the Behavior Helpline at (314) 951-1540, e-mail your question to the Pet Training Department or visit our Behavior Helpline section.
