After 2 sets of puppy vaccines, we recommend enrolling your
puppy and the whole family in our Puppy
Socialization and Early Learning Classes. The focus of
these classes is to on the sensitive period before 14 weeks for
socialization, by providing a controlled and positive atmosphere
for exploring novel experiences and interacting with other puppies
and other well behaved dogs. We also work with the owners to
help them work through normal puppy issues and introduce basic
obedience and manners training in a positive manner. The
classes are loosely based on Purdue University's ABC Puppy
School. These classes are being taught by Keely Harding,
B.S., C.V.T, who has completed Purdue University's DOGS! Course and
additional continuing education classes in behavior and training.
As you can see here, Keely is making a point with the family
members about care of their puppies. Below, we have a child
introducing a puppy to the dreaded scale which wobbles and usually
scares them when in the exam room.
