PUPPY ABC’s
Start off on the right paw! Puppy ABC classes meet every week for six consecutive weeks. There are several available sessions each month, so check out our website at wihumane.org for open dates. Your puppy will learn some very important cues, including sit, down and wait at the door. The classes emphasize proper socialization and handling, so puppies can develop into successful, polite adult dogs. If your puppy is five months or younger, check out this class today!

BEHAVIOR CONSULTATIONS
