Puppy Socialization Class. Hanover Veterinary Hospital holds weekly puppy socialization classes in summer. Classes are hosted by veterinary assistant Rita Martinec, who has over 20 years of experience in dog training, socialization, and behavior modification techniques. Classes are designed to be small (limited to 10-12 puppies only) and focus on younger puppies when they are most impressionable. Classes are held outdoors in our fenced-in yard for safety and security. The outdoor environment will give puppies extra room to play and explore. Registration in the class is for six consecutive weeks. Start at any time when your puppy is ready. Family members are invited to attend! Extra classes will be added if any class is cancelled due to weather.
