Puppy Preschool
Attention: Washtenaw County will be doing construction on Cherry Hill Rd now through August. This means that HSHV will not be accessible from Plymouth Rd and will require a detour. Please keep this in mind when planning travel to and from the shelter.
Discover how to provide outlets for normal puppy behavior, minimize potty accidents; and manage, control and prevent inappropriate behavior like jumping, chewing on shoes and other other things, hard mouthing and nipping on hands and legs. In puppy class, we go over the best ways to meet your puppy's basic needs in a way that makes everyone happy!

- Classes may be a combination of online (Zoom) and in-person. Depending on the instructor, orientation may be in-person or online (via Zoom or Google Meet). In-person classes will typically be held indoors at HSHV's Education Center, but may occasionally be outdoors, weather-permitting. You must have access to a computer, Zoom and email.
- Class sizes are limited. For the sake of all students and to preserve the learning environment, we ask that the number of humans be limited to 3 per dog, and all must be over the age of 12 and respectful of others.
- Please read all prerequisites and dates carefully; class registration is non-refundable and non-transferrable.
