Resources for Your New Pet

Just like humans, pets have unique personalities. These personalities are what we love about our pets - both the good and the (sometimes) challenging. If you're working on some training for your pet or just trying to reduce unwelcome behavior, take a look at these helpful guides.

Virtual Dog Training with GoodPup

Dogs often learn best in a comfortable, familiar environment. And we know that pet owners need training options that work for them. To help our community of pet owners access training on demand, HSSW has partnered with the professionals at GoodPup to offer comprehensive and accessible one-on-one training with a certified trainer. Sessions are entirely virtual and performed through the GoodPup app or website and can be scheduled at your convenience.

When you register for GoodPup at this link, you'll receive your first week free and 10% off for life. And best of all, when you register through the link, GoodPup will make a donation to HSSW.
