Puppy Socialization Class

Properly socializing a puppy during the sensitive period for learning (3-14 weeks of age) is important to prevent the development of fearful or aggressive behavior. Studies show that puppies who attend puppy socialization classes demonstrate better obedience training skills and are less likely to be relinquished from their adoptive home.

Tufts Animal Behavior Clinic is now offering puppy socialization classes. The focus of this class is educating new puppy owners about the socialization process. Other class topics include housetraining, crate training, beginner obedience, environmental enrichment and of course - puppy playtime. Don't entrust just anyone with your puppy's training and socialization needs. Access the highly qualified members of Tufts Animal Behavior Clinic and sign your puppy up for class today.
