Abstract
The main aim of the puppy class is to promote the welfare of the puppy. In addition to offering positive social experiences and owner education regarding care issues, classes can be used to help puppies develop self-control and an awareness of appropriate behaviour. To be safe and successful, the puppy class must be well-structured and carefully managed.
