2. Dog Training: Napa Humane offers public dog training classes to cultivate positive behaviors and foster a strong bond between owners and their canine companions. Through structured sessions led by experienced trainers, dogs learn essential commands, leash manners, and socialization skills, promoting their safety and well-being, ideally keeping dogs out of shelters and in loving homes. Training enhances communication and understanding between dogs and their human counterparts, facilitating harmonious cohabitation. Additionally, training instills confidence in both dogs and owners, enriching their relationship and enabling them to navigate various environments with ease. Ultimately, our dog training classes strive to nurture happy, obedient, and well-adjusted dogs that enrich the lives of their families and communities. Classes are held year-round.

5. Companion Connection: Each year we field hundreds of calls from pet owners with questions about their pets, from hopeful soon-to-be adopters with concerns about how to welcome a new pet into their family to pet owners experiencing a troubling behavior that might cause them to surrender, abandon, or turn out their companion animal. We help with our non-emergency behavior helpline to counsel and educate with the goal of creating and supporting humane homes for pets. Our goals are clear: helping people know the right time for a pet, know the right pet for their family, that a pet is one's pet for all of its life, and that every pet deserves a safe, respectful, and enriching environment.

8. Disaster Preparedness & Response: Animals are affected by the same disasters and emergencies as people natural, man-made, large and small. Whether it's a wildfire, a flood, an earthquake, a chemical leak, an act of terrorism or a global pandemic, Napa Humane is vital to preparedness, response, and recovery efforts during and after disasters. This program focuses on ensuring that Napa Humane is able to continue operations or adapt services to meet the needs of the community during any disaster. Additionally, Napa Humane takes a role in educating pet owners on preparedness and planning for their pets in the event of a disaster. During times when a community disaster has been declared, Napa Humane assists the County of Napa in addressing the needs of pets and their people during and after the crises.
