PUPPY SOCIALS
Puppies need socialization to grow up friendly and well-adjusted—but until fully vaccinated you can’t take them just anywhere. Puppy Socials give your puppy the opportunity to meet new dogs and people in a safe environment.
For puppies up to 18 weeks old.
Sessions are supervised by qualified trainers.
Puppies must be 2 weeks past their first vaccinations.

Nancy’s Training Tips:
Why Socialization MattersDon’t be fooled by your happy-go-lucky puppy. All young puppies are universally friendly and most are so cute they are easy to forgive for jumping up, munching on your sleeves, and not paying attention. But around 4 months of age, your dog’s “socialization window” begins to close.
After that, if your puppy hasn’t been thoroughly socialized and trained, she may become wary of new things. New sounds, new places, and unfamiliar people, children, and dogs. So don’t wait! Get started right away.
