Heartland Humane Shelter & Care uses and recommends positive reinforcement training, as endorsed by the Humane Society of the United States and other nationally recognized industry leaders. Positive reinforcement training is a science-backed, evidence-based approach to training your dog and strengthening the human-canine bond. Please note that this is a resource list of local trainers who use positive reinforcement-based training methods. While many of these trainers offer discounts to adopters, their inclusion on this list should not be read as a recommendation or endorsement of their business. Heartland Humane strongly encourages you to do your own research before selecting any professional to work with your dog.
