Puppy Social Hour:

“The primary and most important time for puppy socialization is the first three months of life” – American Veterinary Society Position Statement on Puppy Socialization.

While seeing a group of clumsy puppies falling all over each other might be the cutest sight known to mankind, it also serves an important purpose; socialization, which is critical to a puppy’s overall wellbeing. Under the guide of nationally certified professional dog trainers, this hour of structured puppy-play allows your new family member to form positive associations to sights, sounds and objects they may encounter in everyday life. Each week we will explore a new theme to make sure your puppy is well-rounded and ready to face the world! Check our Facebook page to find out this week’s theme!
