Dog Behavior Programs
Our Companions is dedicated to keeping dogs in their homes and out of the shelter. That is why our Canine Behavior Team consists of trained animal professionals and volunteers who are here to provide humane training education and build positive, lasting relationships between pet guardians and their canine companions.
