Training and Behavior

Training at the MSPCA-Angell revolves exclusively around rewards-based methods. These methods have predictable and reliable results, and are fun for animals and owners alike. The goal of our program is to teach all pet owners how to train their pets to behave in a way that will create a lifetime of contented companionship for all, and to promote the human-animal bond via abundant choices of enriching training classes.
