Puppies in Billings Need Guidance: Experience Our Puppy Socialization & Positive Training Classes

Puppy Class

Socialization and training of any pet begins on the day you bring your new companion home. Exposure to a variety of people, situations, and environments—including other animals—helps your pet to become confident and comfortable, cementing the human–animal bond.

Bringing your pet to Billings Animal Family Hospital is only the first step. Regular handling, grooming, and daily play will help your pet learn about the world around us. Consistent guidance in household rules and personal space helps your new youngster learn what is expected and allows for the development of a positive, enjoyable relationship.

Billings Animal Family Hospital offers support in the area of training through a variety of resources: classes, informational articles, and referrals to experts. To begin, visit our Pet Information Library page for a variety of articles on the subject of training and behavior.

Puppy Class

Start off on the right paw with your new puppy! Early socialization and training can prevent many problems later on. Linda has been teaching Puppy Class at Billings Animal Family Hospital since 2003. Classes are 7 weeks long and open to puppies from 10 weeks to 6 months. The classes are a combination of basic obedience training and socialization with other puppies and people. And they always end with “puppy playtime”!

To register your pet, contact Linda at 406-670-7797.
