Puppy Socialization (In-Person) - Starting 04/13/25 at 9:30 AM

Have a new puppy? Looking for puppy socials with a little bit more? This 3-week course offers all the fun and social learning of puppy socials, PLUS:

  • Transform your puppy-gator into a nice, sweet puppy by learning bite inhibition
  • Reduce leash reactivity by teaching your pup to tolerate other puppies playing.
  • Enjoy safer play dates and outings with your pup by learning appropriate dog-dog play.
  • Bomb-proof your pup to neighborhood distractions with environmental enrichment.
  • Have better control of your pup by teaching them to come away from play; BE the most fun to your pup!

**Puppies must be 18 weeks or younger on the first day of class. 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. 

  1. All sessions will be in-person at HSSV, in our outdoor training yard. Please dress according to the weather. 
  2. In case of inclement weather, including rain or excessive heat, class may be postponed. Any skipped class dates will be added to the end of the course, on the same day and time as the regular class time. 
  3. Please bring pups on a flat, buckle-style collar. In addition to the collar, the pup may wear a harness, which can be easily removed for play. NO PRONG OR CHOKE COLLARS.
  4. Bring a 6-ft NON-RETRACTABLE leash
  5. Please bring a variety of tasty treats for your pup, cut up small.
  6. Due to space limitations only 1 handler per puppy will be allowed in the yard.
  7. Handlers should be 18 years or older.
