🎾PLAY AND LEARN WITH US!🤓

“In general, puppies can start puppy socialization classes as early as 7-8 weeks of age. Puppies should receive a minimum of one set of vaccines at least 7 days prior to the first class and a first deworming. They should be kept up-to-date on vaccines throughout the class.” -American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior

Our goal is to build confidence and resilience in puppies as well as to develop socialization skills. We developed our puppy class as a rolling start so there is no time wasted after bringing your puppy home! Proper socialization is crucial in your puppy’s early life!

Structure play is a big part of your puppy’s development. We teach YOU how to read your puppy to make sure everyone is having a positive experience and we teach your puppy how to regulate themselves during play so that they don’t become over aroused.
