Social Hour

Do you have a young dog?

Come play at Social Hour!

Our flexible class registration will help you meet your personal training goals!

Socialization for dogs is more than just interacting with other dogs, although that’s a very big part of it. Socialization really means introducing your dog to new experiences in a secure and safe environment. Without proper socialization, dogs may become anxious and fearful of anything unfamiliar. Without proper socialization, this could escalate into serious behavioral issues such as reactivity. In addition, if your dog is already a social butterfly, then attending will just be SO MUCH FUN!

4 Months old - 2 Years old

Thursdays at 6:30pm

$20.00 | One (1) Hour Session

Our every Thursday social hour is for young puppies (4 months old) ready to meet and play with other dogs for the first time through young “teens” (up to 2 years old) who have already met other dogs and shown that they can play well in a group. If they still need to work a little on their manners (responding well to corrections and learning when to “tone it down”) that’s okay! But if they have any difficulties with reactivity, they will need to work with our trainer before considering social hour.

Dogs UNDER 30lbs

"Littles Night"

$20.00 | One (1) Hour Session

Every 1st Monday of the month, we hold a special "Littles Night" with registration limited by size instead of age. This will help those smaller pups have a safer and more engaging play environment with friends of the same size! Dogs must be under 30lbs to attend.

WHAT YOU WILL GET

Words From Our Participants

Social hour is supervised so well. We really appreciated how they were able to intervene when other dogs were being overwhelming or inappropriate. It really provided our pup safe time to learn how to be a dog, and taught us a thing or two about dog behavior that we did not realize before.
