Our Purpose

 

Your Dog's Friend is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose goal is to help keep dogs out of shelters by educating and supporting their humans. We believe that fewer dogs will be given up to shelters if we can help people understand what their dogs need and how their dogs learn.

 

You can turn to Your Dog’s Friend when you have questions or concerns about your dog – whether newly adopted, a puppy, or a long-time companion. We are here to advise you and to recommend resources and referrals. Our workshops and classes will help you understand how to both prevent problems from developing and work with behavior issues that already exist. Our trainers and speakers use and promote positive methods as an effective, safe, and fun alternative to compulsion methods.

 

Your Dog's Friend is based in Montgomery County, MD. See about us for more information about our goals and services.
