LTBHS Testimonials
Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity you gave Rogan and me. The dogs and I have been running everyday now. When we are not running, playing or cuddling, Rogan and I have been working hard learning tricks and manners. He is doing amazingly well! We are so happy, this sweet boy has joined our family. Adopt a Dog
My name is Bourbon. I was found by a family who, unfortunately, was unable to keep me. I love to play with other dogs and I'm friendly with children. I'm only six months old so I have lots of energy. I really would love to attend my free session of dog obedience training that comes with my adoption. If you're in the market for a fun loving family dog, please come meet me.

| Mutts With Manners |
|
Because everyone loves a well-behaved dog, Little Traverse Bay Humane Society developed the Mutts With Manners program. Under the guidance of professional dog trainers, Patty Crichton of Northwoods Dog Training and Brenda Aloff of Heaven on Arf, staff and volunteers are taught to use the same methods to train every dog consistently. This approach provides shelter dogs with a great start in basic obedience and minimizes undesirable behaviors.
Please help us continue help our shelter dogs put their "best paw forward" by making a donation to support this important training program. |
Mutts With Manners is especially important because it provides shelter animals the opportunity to benefit from intense one-on-one time with staff and volunteers. This program is invaluable because it addresses many of the behaviors that may make an animal unattractive to a potential adopter. Whether it’s dominance, separation anxiety, resource guarding, etc., the Mutts With Manners program helps shelter dogs put bad behavior behind them and put their best paw forward toward a forever home.
