We know you love your dog.  But, an untrained dog can be no fun. Does Fido jump on you? Drag you down the street when you try to walk him??? Dog obedience training can make a world of difference in your pet. Just six short classes can transform your unruly beast into a well-behaved pet who knows how to sit, heel and stay.

Welcome to the Monmouth County SPCA Humane Education Section! As Humane Education Coordinator for the Monmouth County SPCA in Eatontown, I would like to acquaint you with the services and resources we are able to provide to the teachers and civic leaders in Monmouth County. Our newly revised Humane Education programs offer various curriculum- blended programs. Each program adheres to the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and are age specific. Two programs have been created for each of the following levels: Primary, Elementary, and Middle School, with various follow up and service learning activities included. High School level programs are specifically customized to correspond with each particular teaching unit.

In partnering with your school or group, the Monmouth County SPCA strives to offer “Higher Level Learning” to your students. Many of the programs and projects include problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, and creative thinking. Our instructor can provide frequent and immediate feedback to students to improve the quality of their learning.

Other benefits of this program may be non-content goals, such as becoming a good team member by working collaboratively with one another on specific projects, preparing a joint report, learning to tolerate opposing points of view, and becoming proficient in public speaking.

At the MCSPCA we believe that your students have the ability to set standards for future generations. We look forward to helping them learn about the issues affecting animals today and how they can use their voice to make a difference. If you are interested in learning more about our Humane Education programs, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you.
