Each session lasts about 45 minutes and is the perfect mix of structured playtime, socialization, as well as Q&A time with our trainer!

The first few months are critical for your puppyโ€™s development - we make it safe, structured, and a positive experience! Our facilty is sanitized prior to every session.

Requirements

  • ONE ROUND OF VACCINES REQUIRED: All puppies 16 weeks and younger must have received at least one round of DHPP vaccinations, and Bordetella at least seven days prior to their participation in class and proof of vaccinations must be provided.

    MONTHLY PREVENTATIVES: Puppies of all ages must be up to date on:

    • Monthly flea/tick

    • Monthly internal parasite preventative

  • NO DOG PARKS/DAYCARES: Because dog parks and daycares can harbor disease, we have a strict no daycare or dog park policy. If your puppy is visiting dog parks/day care you will have to stop going and request a fecal test from your vet to be performed 7 days after the last dog park visit to be able to enroll in Playcare.

    DIARRHEA OR VOMITING: Your puppy will be asked to leave class immediately if they have diarrhea or vomiting in class. A negative fecal test result from the vet will be required to return to class.

    PROTECTED FROM DISEASE: All puppies must be on a regular vaccination schedule during class and they should NOT be visiting daycares or dog parks as risk of disease contact is high in those environments.

    ILLNESS: Do not bring your puppy to class if they are limping, wheezing, sneezing, coughing, vomiting or have diarrhea.

  • Playcare is a fun way to get socialization, but is not a substition for formal training classes! Not enrolled? Take a look at our Puppy Pre-K and Puppy Kindergarten training classes!

  • Some puppies, especially if they are very timid, may show us that this training set up is too much for them to handle. If needed, puppies sometimes may benefit from a different type of training setup, such as private training or group classes!
