Early socialization experiences are crucial for helping puppies become confident, relaxed adults. Our primary goal in our puppy classes is to introduce puppies to new things in a positive way, and to empower owners to continue the critical socialization work outside of class. At North Star Animal Center, we’ll be introducing your puppy to new people and puppies in a way that is dictated by your individual puppy’s needs, and teaching you how to help your puppy interact safely and confidently with the world around them. 

 

In addition to learning about new things, we also work on obedience skills such as  waiting for tempting treats and toys, drop it, leave it, come, leash walking and keeping all four feet on the floor when greeting people.
