LEWISTON — The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society is accepting registration for a puppy obedience class with Marie Gagnon from the Lazy L Kennel.

The seven-week course, available to puppies 8 weeks and older, is tailored to maximize a 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 4 months old they have gone from toddler to teen.

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 first class will begin at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 13, at the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society, 55 Strawberry Ave. The fee is $110; however for those who adopted a puppy from the society, the fee will be $80. Puppies should be up to date on vaccines. Register by calling the shelter at 783-2311.
