Play is an important part of a puppy’s social development and a critical period in your dogs socialization between the ages of 8-16 weeks of age.
Dog play and socialization provides your dog with an outlet for their puppy energy, but it also helps with teaching a puppy how to handle social interactions with other dogs.
Puppy playgroup will allow your puppy to interact with other canine companions in a safe environment while developing inter-species communication skills.
Each playgroup is facilitated by our Certified Behaviour Specialist who will help you establish what is appropriate and not appropriate dog play. Owner’s will get to learn about canine body language and get advice on some common puppy issues such as: nipping, jumping up, house training, crate training and much more. An added bonus is that your puppy will go home tired and happy.
