Dog Obedience Workshops
Designed to help address top concerns of pet owners
When a commitment to add to your family by adopting a furry forever friend is made, it comes with responsibilities. Adopting a puppy or adult dog, is a process which needs patience, but with that patience comes much reward and love for a lifetime.
To schedule a training session(s), please contact trainer@gulfcoasthumanesociety.org or call 239-332-0364.
GCHS offers help in that process to make your furry friend a well-behaved dog. Joy Berry is a dedicated GCHS staff member and certified dog trainer, who has formidable experience in dog training. Pet owners can be reassured their furry friends are in good hands with Joy and her ability to make your dog’s behavior the way it should be – loving and obedient.
Joy is also offering PRIVATE LESSONS. If you’re looking for a one-on-one training session or do you have a pup who has certain behaviors you want corrected? Let’s spend some time together improving your furry friend’s behavior in this one-hour session.
Private Lessons are also available for $60. This is a one-time class directed by Joy at the GCHS campus. It is for specific behavior issues. To make an appointment for a private lesson, contact Joy Berry at trainer@gulfcoasthumanesociety.org.
All payments are non-refundable.

This class will feature how to teach the right behavior to your blossoming puppy and how to deal with the “terrible two’s”. Your puppies’ obedient behavior will be improved by being taught how to read their body language, teach how to correct mouthing behavior, potty training, crate training and more!
