Older Puppy Socialization (In-Person) - Starting 01/05/25 at 11:00 AM

Did your pup age out of puppy socials? Looking to continue your older puppy’s socialization while also learning about the challenges of adolescence? "Older Puppy Socialization" classes are the answer! In this 3-week course, your pup will continue to learn to socialize appropriately with other dogs, while you learn how to keep their attention in distracting environments, while navigating the challenges of puppy adolescence. Topics will include distraction recalls, emergency handling, and increased focus on you instead of passing distractions.

Requirements: Completion of puppy socialization -or- note from dog professional who has observed the dog in other puppy socials, doggy day care, or boarding.
NOTE: This class is NOT for dogs with any type of aggression! It is for socialized older puppies with established play skills.

**This is for puppies that are between 6 months - 18 months old. This is not an alternative to puppy training classes; basic training behaviors will not be covered. We recommend this course as a supplement to Beginning Puppy Training.

  4. Please bring a variety of tasty treats for your pup, cut up small.
