Early, proactive socialization in an essential foundation for a well-adjusted dog!
“The primary and most important time for puppy socialization is the first 3 months of life, beginning puppy socialization classes as early as 7-8 weeks of age. Because sociability outweighs fear, this is the primary window of opportunity for puppies to adapt to new people, animals, and experiences.”

Small class size designed to provide meaningful support
**Sessions may be private or small-group (up to 4 puppies), depending on enrollment. While we aim to provide opportunities for puppies to learn alongside one another, some sessions may become private training lessons based on enrollment. Because effective socialization extends beyond puppy play, families receive guidance on safely and positively exposing their puppy to new people, places, sounds, surfaces, and experiences. When classes are private, we place additional emphasis on creating and implementing a socialization plan that supports your puppy's development between sessions.
