Puppy Socialization   •   Puppy II   •   Beginning Family Dog Training

At Dog's Best Friend Training, we believe classes should be fun, effective and family friendly. Our dog training classes are designed to not only teach you how to train your dog, but how to communicate, and use that knowledge to have a polite, well-mannered dog. These dog training classes help get dogs and their owners started off on the right paw. Dogs love class, and their owners tell us it is the highlight of their week! Classes are held at six different locations in the Madison area, and schedules are listed below.

Puppy Socialization

Our Puppy Socialization class is for puppies that are between the ages of 9 and 19 weeks at the start of class. We teach basic commands such as: sit, down, come and attention work. We also start teaching puppies to have polite greetings, otherwise known as no jumping. Puppies also get socialization time in organized play sessions. Common puppy problems such as house training and puppy mouthing are covered in class. Our training methods are fun, effective and taught so that all family members can master them.

Classes cost $95.00 and run for 6 weeks. Call 608.277.1339 to register.
