We're Here to Help!

If you have a medical concern with your pet, your first call ideally should be to your family veterinarian. If you have a behavioral concern with your pet, Tri-County Humane Society's dedicated staff is happy to do our best to give advice and/or direct you to available resources. (See training options further down on this page.) Please call us at 320-252-0896, or email pets@tricountyhumanesociety.org. (Or you can send a message through our TCHS Facebook page.)

TCHS is Proud to Announce Partnership With GoodPup Online Training Program

Tri-County Humane Society is excited to announce our partnership with the GoodPup dog training app! GoodPup offers customized, affordable, positive dog training that you can access from the comfort of your home, at a time that works for YOU.

TCHS will get a financial boost from people who try AND stick with this app – which is great for us, but we’re really most excited about the possibility of better-behaved dogs! (And maybe fewer dogs that need new homes due to behavioral issues.) GoodPup offers one week of free training; there is no obligation, and users can cancel at any time.

Here’s what else to know:

• If you’ve ever adopted a dog from TCHS, you can sign up for the GoodPup app, and get a lifetime discount off their services. (This is good for TCHS fosters, volunteers, and staff members, too.) Reach out to TCHS to get your code to unlock your savings! (The information is now in all TCHS adoption bags, too.)

• If you haven’t adopted from TCHS but are still interested in the training, please visit https://links.goodpup.com/shelter/TCHSTraining.

For everyone who keeps up with GoodPup beyond the first week of training, TCHS will receive $50 from the company – whether the dog is from us or not! (Remember, that first week is free.)

We hope this helps some puppies learn how to be good dogs, and also helps some old dogs learn new tricks!

Other training

At this time, Tri-County Humane Society does not offer in-house dog training. We often refer customers to the following St. Cloud-area businesses, whom we have worked with in the past. (Note: This is intended to be purely information for customers, not necessarily endorsements.) Obedience classes ARE an important part of bonding with your dog, and they are important for their socialization and manners. Training is a great idea for every pup!
