Training & Behavior

Rescue dogs, at any age, may have an adjustment period as they learn how to interact in their new environment. It can take weeks to month for them to relax and show you their true personality. Taking a training class during that time will go a long way to ensure that you can communicate effectively with your new pup, and help them settle in to your home and lifestyle. One key part of our mission is to educate dog owners in order to reduce the number of homeless pets that end up in shelters across the country. As part of that mission, Fetch reimburses up to $90 towards the completion of a training class with you and your new dog! Based on feedback from our adopters, we highly recommend a rescue dog or puppy class, depending upon the age of your dog and what is available through your local trainer. Once you’ve completed the class, complete this form, and we’ll reimburse you up to $90 towards the class.
