Training at Best Friends

See the dogs and cats of Best Friends in action! Watch them blossom as they learn and train to be ready for forever homes. The animals would also like to thank Cloud Star, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary's official training treat partner, for providing all the wholesome and natural treats you see in this video.

Training animals at Best Friends helps them develop self-control and manners. These skills help them get adopted and stay in their forever homes.
