A properly socialized puppy is well adjusted and makes a great companion. Socialization introduces and familiarizes your puppy to new experiences-including people, places, objects and other animals. Safe and structured playtime is not only fun, but also teaches your puppy valuable social skills. Early prevention of behavioral problems starts with appropriate socialization!
Our socialization sessions are held Fridays from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm.
Your puppy will be supervised during play, walked regularly and fed a midday meal. Some treats will be used during socialization. Our facility is clean and temperature controlled. Vaccinations must be current.
This service is for puppies up to 6 months old.
