The PAWS Chicago Training Center virtual program offers everything from classes designed for puppies to teaching your dog how to jump through a hula hoop.
"Training is designed to develop the human-to-animal bond, improve communications skills, build confidence, reward appropriate behavior, and prevent future behavior problems," the shelter said in a statement announcing the classes.
Training continues to be crucial for dogs while typical socialization activities may no longer be available due to social distancing.
"Dogs don't understand the COVID-19 quarantine, so they still need enrichment and training. Doing training from home, in the dog's environment, provides a unique opportunity to meet the dog's needs," said Joan Harris, PAWS Chicago Director of Canine Training and Behavior.
