Puppy Playtime:  A supervised session for puppy socialization

Great Dog offers weekly "Puppy Playtime" sessions for puppies ages 9 weeks to 5 months.  Socialization is key to a puppies learning environment.  Through playing with peers as well as other individuals, puppies learn how to interact with other breeds & people.  They also experience bite inhibition which lays the foundation for a bite-free life.  Dog bites can be prevented by owners being proactive with their puppies social skills.  These social opportunities also start to build a recall (come!) that will take your puppy through his lifetime of learning.  These sessions are not designed to replace the four-week Puppy Steps class, but to enhance your puppy’s exposure to alternative & new experiences. These sessions serve as socialization opportunities to play and learn.  Instructors provide structure, games and will be on hand to answer your additional question about life with your puppy!  These sessions serve as excellent preparation for Puppy Steps or Basic Obedience and are most effective when coupled with a class.  We host Puppy Play times each Saturday from 2:45-3:30pm.  No reservations needed! Saturday socializations are held in our Annex Training Space 11325 Roosevelt Way NE (check in at the Shoppe)  Cost:  $4 per puppy per session
