Behavioral issues are the most common reasons why dogs end up in shelters. At Summer Creek Animal Clinic, we are passionate about preventing problem behaviors. The best way to do this is to start young. Puppy socialization classes are one way we can accomplish this. These are weekly classes for four weeks during which your puppy can interact with other puppies of a similar age, learn positive behaviors, and have positive exposure to animals and new experiences outside the home in a controlled environment. Availability of these classes depends on the number of puppies available during any given four-week period. Please call our practice at 817-523-1139 for more details about the requirements for attendance and whether or not socialization classes are currently being offered.
