Puppy Socialization
Help your puppy adapt early and gracefully to a variety of people, dogs, noises, surfaces, and environments. Led by dog trainer Annie Humphrey, our Puppy Socialization Classes for dogs age 10 to 16 weeks help develop a healthy personality and prevent behavior problems in adulthood. Classes are available on a drop-in basis every Wednesday evening from 6:30 to 7:30, with sign-in at 6:15 p.m. The cost is $10 and vaccines are required. Proceeds benefit the Pets Lifeline Medical Fund and our Good Samaritan Fund for pets requiring urgent medical treatment who have no caretaker support to cover their veterinary expenses. For details, call Annie at 707-996-4577.
