Pawsome Puppy School and Playtime
Welcome to Pawsome Puppy School, an integral, informative, fun part of your puppy’s early education! Pups 8-20 weeks young can start after their first set of vaccinations.
Come help your puppy learn and make new friends (you can too!). It’s an important time for your pup, and this 50-minute puppy class offers a weekly dose of socialization and learning. During class, there is a lot of puppy play and socializing, and we also discuss puppy-related topics, such as potty training, crate training, chew toy training, social cues, basic commands, and other puppy-related topics.
The most critical socialization period for puppies ends around 16 weeks of age, so it is imperative to create a positive learning environment as your puppy grows. Merely exposing your puppy to a lot of things may not be enough- It’s HOW you do it that’s the most important. If your puppy is fearful, flooding him or her could lead to more behavior problems. Puppy School teaches appropriate social behavior, creates positive associations, increases bite inhibition, and builds confidence without causing your puppy stress or fear.
For every puppy, learning bite inhibition (to inhibit the strength of its bite) is of utmost importance; it lays the groundwork for a lifetime of understanding that teeth are for chewing, not chomping down on people or other dogs. It is important to teach bite inhibition while puppies still have their puppy teeth (it’s why their teeth are so sharp!), and puppies learn bite inhibition best from other puppies.
Pawsome Puppy Class | Single Visit $20/Unlimited $145 | Tuesdays
Parents must attend with their puppies. You can come once, or come multiple times- the more you come, the more chance your puppy will have to play with different puppies.
This playgroup is not for puppies who are very shy, fearful, or have defensive/aggressive behavior. Those puppies are more suited for private sessions so we can work on confidence and decreasing anxiety.
