$20 (non-enrolled), $10 (current or formerly enrolled in puppy manners)
For puppies of any size under 5 months, older puppies who have completed Puppy Manners & Positive Play, or per instructor's approval.
Humans stay with their puppies for these sessions.
These sessions are for people who want tired puppies! Of course, there is the huge added benefit of socialization but most people will agree that the best thing about the play sessions is that their puppies are asleep and not getting into trouble for many blissful hours afterwards! The Puppy Manners and Positive Play Classes have more emphasis on training and socialization with humans; these sessions have more play and socialization with other puppies. This is a great alternative to the dog park, which is fun for many well-socialized adult dogs, but can cause a lot of trouble in young puppies and under-socialized dogs (both medically and behaviorally).
These sessions are carefully supervised so that every pup can have a successful session. This is NOT a free for all type of play. Puppies may be given their own space, share a space with one or two other calm, less gregarious pups, or be in a free play situation if they are ready for that. Your instructor will be the one to advise you as to what your puppy needs at each session. We want puppies that attend these to feel safe, have fun, enjoy the socialization, and be able to grow in their social skills and confidence!
