Puppy Social Hour - Friday
with Eric Stockam

At Puppy Social Hour puppy classes, puppies will learn: appropriate play style with other pups, acceptable manners with people, tolerance for gentle restraints, confidence with the approach of friendly strangers, and more.
We will teach some basic puppy manners using positive reinforcement including “sit” “down” “come.” Your puppy will also gets tips on how to walk nicely on the leash without pulling and greet people without jumping. We’ll show you how to inhibit your puppy's bite during play, how to manage chewing, and the crazy “zoomies.” If you are struggling with food or object guarding, housetraining, or any other issues, our experienced dog training staff will be available to help you through any of these puppy behaviors.
All puppies must have completed two sets of vaccinations, including Bordetella (for kennel cough). Please bring proof of vaccination to class. For the safety of all we cannot admit any puppy to our classes without seeing vaccination records.
Puppy Classes at Woods Humane Society are ongoing. There is no obligation; you “pay to play” (and learn) each week. You must register before you come to class. Our “drop in” puppy classes typically have a wait list. If you schedule yourself for a class that you cannot make, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can allow another puppy into class.
