Foothills Animal Shelter (FAS - formerly known as Table Mountain Animal Center) is now offering dog training classes to the public. Just in time for spring when dogs are ready to go out and about, Jennifer Strickland, Director of Community Relations, says FAS classes are now available to help dogs become happier and better companions regardless of age, breed or size.
The first sessions to be offered include both puppy and basic obedience classes. Both groups will run six consecutive classes, which will take place on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Attendees may also purchase training items, such as proper leashes, gentle leaders and harnesses, at the shelter. The classes are as follows:
