Puppies must start class under 6 months old
SUSPENDED UNTIL FALL 2026
We know there is a long list of to-dos when raising a puppy. Let us help you check some of those boxes.
During socialization class our trainer, Rebecca, guides you in a series of exercises to create positive associations with different sights, sounds, textures, people etc. that have potential to turn into future fears or anxieties for your dog if not introduced properly. These associations could include bathing, thunder and siren sounds, handling for vet visits and introductions to other dogs and people of all ages and sizes. A fun class to let your puppy explore & develop social skills while feeling safe. This structured puppy socialization class will help your pup become a confident adult dog.

Why Socialization Matters
Socialization plays a critical role in shaping how a dog experiences the world as they grow. During the early months of life, puppies are especially open to learning about new environments, people, dogs, sounds, and everyday situations.
Positive, well-managed experiences during this time help puppies build confidence, curiosity, and resilience, while reducing the likelihood of fear or anxiety later in life.
Puppy socialization classes provide a safe, structured space where puppies can explore new experiences at their own pace while guardians learn how to read body language, support their puppy, and create positive associations.
With guidance and thoughtful exposure, these early experiences help lay the foundation for a confident, adaptable adult dog who can navigate the world with greater ease.
