Puppy ABC's
Wisconsin Humane Society Classroom 2 & 3

Thank you for your interest in Puppy ABC's (Appropriate Behavior Class)! Please be sure to look over the requirements for our program.

Your puppy will be taught in a reward based positive learning environment where he or she will have fun! Your puppy will learn some very important cues like sit, down, wait at the door, but we place emphasis on socialization and handling so that all puppies can grow up to be a successful polite adult dogs.

We will socialize them to other puppies by having supervised play sessions several times each class period, new objects (such as agility equipment and stairs), and new people every class. We will show you some games you can play with your puppy, like Hide and Seek, finding objects, and trading for toys. We will help you get your puppy accustomed to veterinary visits so that they do not become fearful when they are examined. We will teach you about dog behavior and help you with the common puppy problems such as housetraining, jumping, and play biting just to name a few. We will teach you the tools that you need so you can train your puppy and will give you homework that you can practice at home.

Puppy ABC classes meet for 60 minutes every week on the same day and time for 6 consecutive weeks.
