Class Description: Socialization for puppies is critical. What is socialization? According to the American Veterinary Medical Association “Socialization is the process of preparing a dog or cat to enjoy interactions and be comfortable with other animals, people, places and activities. Ideally, socialization should begin during the “sensitive period” which is between 3 and 14 weeks of age for puppies.”
This class will be set up as stations/obstacles that you’ll get to encourage your puppy/dog through. Stations will change with each Super Socialization session so your puppy/dog will experience something new each time.
You’ll go home with a more social, braver, tired pup!

Class Description: New puppy? No pressure, but puppies go through a critical socialization period from 3 to 16 weeks and the American Veterinary Medical Association recommends you get started socializing sooner rather than later to have the dog of your dreams. In fact, they found that “Dogs who had more social contacts or attended puppy classes before twelve weeks of age were less likely to develop fearful or aggressive behavior.”
