Greater Androscoggin Humane Society

LEWISTON, MAINE – The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society is now accepting registration for a Basic Obedience Class with Marie Gagnon from the Lazy L Kennel.

This seven week course, available to puppies 8 weeks and older, is tailored to maximize your canine companion’s potential. Since a puppy’s first months are like a child’s kindergarten and elementary school years, by the time they are four months old they have gone from toddler to teen. This short span of time is very precious; just like a child these are a dog’s “formative” years, what happens (or doesn’t happen) will affect your life time together. Since dogs at this age learn incredible quickly, it is a great time to take advantage of this time to install a foundation that will last a lifetime. Dogs in this class will learn the basics of canine etiquette. In addition to canine manners, commands such as Sit, Down, Stay, and Come and how to follow off leash will be covered in this class.

The class begins at 6pm at the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society. The fee is $110, however for those who adopted a puppy from the Humane Society, the fee will be $80. Puppies should be up to date on puppy vaccines. You can register your puppy by calling the Shelter at 783-2311.
