Puppy Class

Exposure to other pets, people and situations is vital to your pet’s socialization. Our free puppy classes present a safe and controlled environment for socialization to take place. Conducted by Dr. Honey and Dr. Kirkham, the classes also provide an opportunity ask questions and gain valuable tips and information on a variety of topics about your puppy’s care.
